    Also check to make sure you own the domain not just renting it. Otherwise how are you going to take it with you when you leave.

    I have all the .net/.co.uk/.ltd.uks for my ltd co name (which is short under 10 letters) and makes getting e-mails a doddle.

    +1 have to agree with the above, £60 is a bit excessive.

    I'm also using vidahost for my cloud reseller package and so far so good

    Kaiser, that isnt just expensive or a bit steep, that is daylight robbery.

    Sites like 1and1 offer .co.uk domains, emails, site building tools, all for £5 per year (£10 approx per two years).

    Many free hosters, offer site builder tools as well. One host I use a lot is the one linked to below. Lets you use php and other scripting, plenty of space, good bandwith, no ads, sitebuilder, etc etc:

    Free Web Hosting with PHP, MySQL and cPanel, No Ads

    Then if you dont want you webpage looking tacky with some sitebuilding tools, just google "free css templates". Thousands to choose from, editing and personalising is childs play and bam, you have a professional looking site.



    The point is, many offer much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much more for a lot less or even for free.

    I would recommend Vidahost basic package is £17 a year, they self install for Wordpress which can give you a very professional looking website with minimal outlay

    I can't see "Look Mr IR35 inspector, I've got my own website. it's called MyCo.Jimdo.co.uk and I got it for nothing to try and get one over on you" working too well.
