anyone have any experience of 123 reg.co.uk?? trying (and failing) to create a website..

[nellieloula]

Please help me! I have just bought a domain name and paid for hosting at 123-reg, who were recommended on here. Great. Except now I have absolutely no idea how to go about creating the web pages and ensuring email addresses are correct or even how to access emails set to those addresses....... keeps telling me my login is incorrect, or to download an FTP (which I have - again, what do I do now??) I feel totally over my head, but have just spent £100 so really need to crack on! If anyone has any clue, please do let me know. thanks

Have you rung them nellie?

I used 123-reg to register my domain names but then used my own software to create the site, rather than one of their templates, so I can't help you. I was also heavily reliant on my DH for the technical bit.

I have to say I transferred the hosting to BT fairly promptly because 123-reg didn't have phone support out of hours. Because I am useless, I need DH to do any of that so I needed out of hours support so he can do any ringing that's necessary during evenings/weekends.

But if you don't need that, 123 were quite helpful iirc.

Thanks - F, yes I am about to phone them now. Just sat DS in front of peppa pig to do it in peace! bad mummy
