I wish to register a domain name, any recommendations for company to do this through?

Thanks

It depends what you plan to do with it.

Thanks for the responses.

I want a co.uk domain name for my business, initially just for e-mail but may use for web site in future.  The one I want appears to be available, I looked on 1 & 1 and Easily, the former being cheaper.

If I register through 1 & 1, or any body else for that matter, can I then use the domain name through my ISP such that I can keep it if I move ISP?

I've used 123-Reg for mine and never had any problems.

As to using it with your ISP for email what you will need to do is to set up with whoever you use to re-direct the emails to your ISP's email system, this is normally done via a control panel of some sort. Yes you will be able to keep this domain when you move ISP's since all you do is change the redirection.

Sorry for delay in responding.  Thank you for your further advice, I have now registered domain name with e-mail forwarding for my new business and so far all is working well.

Just for future reference I really like Heart Internet after having a nighmare with 123-reg and there lack of redundancy.

The control panel is brilliant and I like all the reseller functions.
