Hi all,

I have a friend who has a small business and would like a website.

I have offered to design a site for her however she needs to set up a domain and web hosting.

The site isn't very image based but I don't really know what I am looking for.

Email forwarding would be a good thing but I know most packs include them free.

Could anyone recommend a good package (obviously not too expensive!)

Cheers

Jamie

Apologies for resurrecting an older thread but quick question

With Vidahost can you point your web space to your domain name yourself or do you have to supply the domain name to Vidahost and they do this bit internally. If you see what I mean.

With 1&1, which whom I host at mom, adding a domain name is simply done (by the user) via the control panel.

Apologies for asking a silly question.

Cheers

Do you mean changing the nameservers? In which case yep its easily done through "My Vidahost".

For example, your domain is paid and managed by Vidahost but your hosted by 1 & 1?

This is probably what you mean?:-
http://www.vidahost.com/domain-names/what-are-nameservers.php

If you are ensure give them a call or email them, details here

Once you've set up your account you have access to cpanel and then its simply a case of adding on new domains.
It depends on whom you bought the name from and if you wish to retain that company for name renewal or if you want to also use vidahost for the domain registration.
If youre transferring from elsewhere drop them an email and they will point to the correct name servers.

Or if you have a domain name thats bought through elsewhere...  all you do is via their CP put in vidahosts name servers.

For eg I originally bought kitz.co.uk through easily and in easily's CP I input vidahosts nameservers.   Then I just added kitz.co.uk in my vidahost C-Panel.
I did it all myself through the control panels, but vidahost will help out if you get stuck.

Many thanks for the clarity just wanted to make sure that this could be done. I will give them a shot.

One final question, do you know offhand if any of their hosting packages offer email scanning included. I could not find any reference to this on their website.

Cheers
