Hello Anita

We've used Easyspace for many years now to register our domain names and host our websites.  Their charges are reasonable and it's not hard to get hold of them if you do need help and advice.

On top of that we use Roman Cart for our shop and Paypal to accept payments.  We've just found out that Paypal has a £650 transaction limit so, depending on what people are likely to be buying, you might want to check out another provider.  We're now talking to Netbanx who seem to do everything that we want and are a lot easier to contact than Paypal.

Uploading your site is very simple with Easyspace.  They give you your FTP link and you just copy your site files from your machine into the folder that you access through the FTP.  You can change your pages at any time, using the same copy and paste process.

Please feel free to contact me with further questions as we've had our own websites for nearly 10 years and our on-line shop for the last year.

Good luck!
