How do you buy a .co.uk domain name and set up a website?

They don't let you buy a co.uk, unless you own a company which is active in UK. Within 3 days after purchasing you will receive an email from registrar asking needed documents to confirm your purchase. As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use. This company offers "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get).

Great! So lets get started first youve got to buy a domain (I got mine of 1and1 ( www.1and1.co.uk )), Its pretty easy you can pay by direct debit, paypal or card, for a quick domain use the inbuilt website creator. BUT I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND INSTEAD YOU USE www.wix.com to make the site, after creating a account there and making a website cick embed copy all that code save it as a notepad document on your desktop SAVE IT AS (IN THE SAVE AS) as index.html. LOG IN to http://admin.1and1.co.uk and in another browser window go to (replace yoursite with you website name) copy the user name and password AFTER YOU HAVE CLICKED FTP ACCESS IN THE ADMIN.1AND1 WINDOW >>IF YOU GET CONFUSED CALL 0871 641 21 21 (24 hours a day, seven days a week - including bank holidays)<<

alright so you want a .uk domain and email address. there is only one thing which you will have to do.. create a new profile stating them that you live in united kingdom and state the address of your uk house. the address, the pincode and the country thats UK. create the yahoo profile with these things in mind. then they will give you a .co.uk email address or they may even give you .com according to the availability of the server spacings. now we move on to your .uk domain. buy cyber space from yahoo for your web site on clickin to the "start small business" tab on yahoo.com you will be asked for your website name and the .uk domain will also appear if you login with your newly created profile where you have mentioned the country UK as i said earlier. loads of luck buddy.

I have always wondered how to do that?
