I'm going to get a friend a novelty domain name for his birthday.

Is it just a simple matter of registering the name with a company for £5 and then getting sent some documents over the post. What else can I add to it. If I wanted to put a brief website up can I pay for hosting for one year or anything.

I have no clue about this stuff so your help and ideas are appreciated.

Thanx

You could pay for basic web hosting for a year. My mate runs a company offering all these services, I know it's my mate but they do run a tight ship and are extremely helpful. I know this because I've dealt with the company myself as they provided all the hosting, and everything that goes with it for the last place I worked. Check out www.34sp.com

Just register it in his name and pay for it yourself, job's a goodun..

Depending on whom you use, he / you shold be able to upgrade it to a hosting account at any time.

I've moved this to the Computer forum.

Jamie B who is the company you see top right of your screen is the best man for the job.

And no doubt he'll be along shortly.

Question has to be 'who is that rather attractive lady on Jamie's webpage?'.

Wasn't thinking about getting a domain name - I am now!
