How can I register my own domain name for a website?

[Overseasmom100]

Ive done it through a company before ages ago but need to register another one with .co.uk

How do I do it myself?

Anyone?

Search it on nominet and pick a registration service, decide what you want from any of the services of each of the providers - web & mail hosting, forwarding etc

Do you just want a domain name or somewhere you can build a website?

Having bought, transferred and sold hundreds of domain names I'd recommend you use separate services for the domain name and building the website.

The best domain name service I've used is Namecheap (much better than the most advertised popular one imo). Reasonably priced, easy to use, efficient, secure, won't take the domain name away if one of your competitors makes a false complaint etc).

Hosting (where you put your website files) I use and recommend Siteground - their cheapest package is fine if you've only got one website. Check out the reviews on Trustpilot.

A comprehensive service and their helpdesk are friendly and helpful.
