.com registration and forwarding
Discussion
Starting a small business and would like a 'web presence'.
Don't expect much traffic, have got a banner free hosted site at the moment and built the basics using a nice/easy site builder program. Perfect for my needs. Looks semi-professional and doesn't have any annoying ads or pop-ups.
As I 'go live' though, I'd like a decent .com web domain and I'd like it to be forward to my free hosted solution.
Cheapest I've found so far is £5.38 a year with FX Domains. Seems cheap enough but I was wondering if I could do it any cheaper!

For the sake of 10p, go with Register 1. Their support service is absolutely superb (especially for muppets like me and the mates I've referred).
ETA: To qualify that statement; 2 examples:
1) My company website & e-mail went down one morning so I submitted a help ticket. Within 2 minutes I had a response from someone saying the VDS it was located on was being DoS'ed and that they were working to mitigate it. Within 10 minutes the website & e-mails were back up and live.
2) My mate was being a numpty uploading a website. I couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong so whilst we were sat in the pub we submitted a help request. Within 20 minutes the chap had ascertained that indeed, my mate was a numpty and the problem was solved.
I personally wouldn't use/recommend anyone else.
