What is the very CHEAPEST way to get a domain name and web hosting ? Please help me

[LaurieFairyCake]

I've spent all day titting about with this shit

I don't even want a website but I HAVE to have one to apply to do this pop up shop thing I want to do a craft stall at. It's not an option to leave the field blank.

So:

1. The domain name I want is available

1. Every domain name seller I go to has 'special deals' at £3 a month - 'FREE DOMAINS!' With hosting but you have to sign up and sell your soul for decades

I've 'designed' the website using Wix (nice and easy) - it's given me the option to use my own domain name so I need to buy one with hosting.

There MUST be a cheap way to do this

1&1 or Mr Site?

Lots of "registrar's" who you can get the domain name through (I use 1&1, they're OK) but I'd be inclined to pay the £2 fee for the first 2 years, rather than do it through a free one.

You can shop around when it's about to expire because it goes up to about £7/year then.

Do you understand the difference between having a domain name and having hosting space?

DOH, sorry, missed your last sentence about hosting.

I think so - am I right I buy the domain name (the one I choose) and then pay for it to be 'live' hosted on the internet?

Going to check out those Fekko

We use Fast2Host

Can you not use your facebook page (if you have one) - or set up a business page on there and use that? I use mine a lot and get more from that than I do from my website.

You also get a couple of hundred email addresses.
