Web Hosting and Domain Registration

[Richard Slater]

Finally got fed up with my current web host, Web Mania, as they refuse to upgrade MySQL and PHP to the latest versions, and it is stopping parts of WordPress 2.2 from working properly, the e-mail seems to be getting worse and I think they are just dropping e-mails silently.

I think I have pretty much decided that tsoHost is the best bet for hosting both of our domains (richard-slater.co.uk and I Married You). As far as I can see I can use the "Add-On Domains" feature to host both websites, i.e. imarriedyou.co.uk -> htroot/imarriedyou, richard-slater.co.uk -> htroot/richardslater, etc. If anyone has an account with tsoHost and uses this I would appreciate someone confirming that this is the case.

I also rather heavily use domain forwarding to provide me with different e-mail addresses for different people, i.e. SOE@doman for SOE Games, microsoft@domain for Microsoft, etc. Again if anyone can confirm that I can have many forwards to one mailbox on my domain I would appreciate it.

Lastly, richard-slater.co.uk is hosted with Web-Mania, and imarriedyou.co.uk is hosted with 123-reg. Are these the best options for .co.uk domains, there seem to be a stupid number of domain registrars out there and very little to tell between them, how would I go about transferring between one provider and the next - is this where the IPS/Nominet tag comes in?

Thanks
Richard
