You can choose a personalised domain name (which holds no reference to any other company). Example domain names are...

• http://www.mywebsite.co.uk
• http://www.mywebsite.com
• http://www.mywebsite.org
• http://www.mywebsite.net

You can buy a domain name for around 40 pounds (inc. VAT). If you want web space, in addition to this, you must pay between 100 and 200 pounds (inc. VAT). WebGeordie got a good deal using www.bigtrain.co.uk. However it is definitely worth shopping around - for Yahoo's list of ISP's click here.

One company that is worth checking out is www.freenetname.co.uk who via a 'minor fiddle' give you a free domain name and web space. Check out their small print for more details.

Why should I host my site at one of these locations?

• If you are serious about your site then this is the professional way to do it
• You get email addresses related to your domain name (i.e. [email protected])
• You get a large bandwidth for downloads

Why shouldn't I host my site at one of these locations?

• You must pay for it
• In most cases you must also purchase a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application (see upload).

Summary

• This option is best for those who are prepared to pay money (between 100 and 200 pounds) to get the best possible site.
