Hello,

Having a Domain Name/Web hosting with "easyspace" up for renewal, was thinking I am paying to much.

any ideas should I stay or go?

am I right in saying its easy to tranfer a domain name to another web hosting company.

regards

It's easy to transfer a domain name, but you'll probably have to pay £40 to do so.

The new company will normally accept it for free - they just sting you when you go.

Easyspace charge £49 - I just had a look.

Hello domski

thanks mate, will renew I guess as it alot less than trying to move.

I have had the domain name for years, hope to get a website sorted out
this year, trying to get my head round Dreamweaver, its ok.

But I don't come from a HTML back ground, Ok with the graphics side though.

regards

I don't use Dreamweaver - it's too complicated for a simpleton like me.

I use Frontpage 2000.

I know, I know, it's amazing that I can produce such incredible websites using old hat software, LMAO.

God, and I thought £12 for transferring a domain name from freeola to 123-reg was a rip-off !

Hi Dom, if I start from scratch..wich Company should I contact to buy a webspace?
And which software to play building a webpage?

123 REG (http://www.123-reg.co.uk) for domains and hosting (they also don't charge you to move your domain away - should you ever want to)

Then I would use Microsoft Frontpage to design your site with. It's very user friendly and easier to learn than Dreamweaver (which seems to complicate everything in my opinion).

Last of all I use FTP Surfer (http://www.whispertech.com/surfer) to upload my sites to the webspace - It's freeware, so free!!

I like free :D
