The People's Chimp Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Registered mine on 123 reg and then designed it using wix.com which is doing the job for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Is wix.com hosting or did you host through 123 reg mate? Think i just paid the reg fee at 123 reg and then paid wix to host. While the website is a bit ronseal, it's mile ahead of some that competitors have paid for so I'd say wix is pretty cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 So once you register the name can you move it to different hosts or are you stuck in once place? Also if you design the site can it be moved to another host??

Rick Grimes Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 One thing to watch out for if you register with 123 is they've blocked off the ability to set a forwarding email for [email protected] unless you're hosted by them too. Bit of a pain - best to see if the hosting company will also register for you. I'm currently using www.justhostme.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboInSouthsea Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Have heard that WordPress is a pretty good bit of kit for building your website, never used it tho' but it's mainly free, some themes you have to pay for. Also I use Kompozer, which is free, to produce 'what you see if what you get' websites, a bit like DreamWeaver...it generates the HTML if you don't know how to write it although it's always worth learning. I'd shop around when choosing your host and see who offers the best deal and security...this will depend on the website and how much you can afford.
