Just a quick one.
Can anyone recommend a decent domain registrar? Just want myname.com and myname.co.uk, will probably point it at a wordpress blog or something like that and use the address for email. Been reading reviews for various companies online but they all seem terrible.

I've used GoDaddy and not had any problems with them. Only left them because they don't offer .fm or .am, that's run by dotFM, surprisingly enough.

I use daily.co.uk - it's pretty good, and cheap!

My advice would be always register your domain seperately to your hosting, makes moving hosts much easierif you ever have the need, as your in a position to set nameservers rather than relying on the hosts whom your leaving. I use ukreg for .co.uk and .coms

Cheapest one I found was Eclipse Internet based in Exeter! Sign up for two years though... it's a LOT cheaper!
