Cheap .co.uk domains?
Posting on behalf of Newt whose account was banned by me but i dont have the ability to unban it .
Yo dudes! Thought I'd mosy on down to these here mighty forums and pick all your brains. I'm making a website, and want to register a .co.uk domain! Not to mention 1000mb storage - I'll need php/mysql/cgi/etc support - but not much bandwidth for the first year.
Any suggestions for companies/websites? I'm a poor student so has to be cheap. Finally ... I might need help coding some of the website - like adding one or two features in: - email addresses
- IRC bouncers
- forums
- password stuff
- CGI IRC
- etc.
Thanks for any help.
Newt

Re: Cheap .co.uk domains?
You'll not be able to set up an IRC bouncer without shell access which is far from standard in a web-hosting package. Similarly CGI-IRC will require the host to permit socket access which also isn't standard practice.
Forums are easy enough, your best option is probably phpBB which has a vBB look and feel but is free. They're also fairly easily hackable into a portal-styled site, and can be linked into any code you write without too much hassle, the DB isn't overly complex and there are similar integrations detailed online roundabout.
A few forum types (lo Struct) use www.impulsed.net which stemmed from PA people I believe, though I've not used them so can't vouch for or against them.

Re: Cheap .co.uk domains?
I could host you in the US
Price for a 1000mb space: 100 euros a year, with 20gb of bandwidth a month. No bouncers though. I can register a .co.uk for 15 euros

Re: Cheap .co.uk domains?

Re: Cheap .co.uk domains?
Try my signature link or on AcornDomains.co.uk
.co.uk domains are £6.09 for 2 years including email and web forwarding. Full control panel.
Their hosting isn't the cheapest option tho, you may to look elsewhere for that.

Re: Cheap .co.uk domains?
I pay about the same as the Impulsed gold plan, but have forty times as much space, more bandwidth, and a 30-domain reseller account.
Do they offer anything that would make switching worthwhile? Their site seems to be low on specifics.
