Thanks Wessel - this is awesome advice. Just thought you might like the heads-up that there seems to be a spelling error in your email address (the 'i' is missing from 'services')

I use cloud hosting for all of my stuff (Linode), but if you're looking for just simple shared hosting I can't recommend Texo more - great service and support!

I see, so you can register a domain, but hosting is extra?  Do you recommend any hosts?

It's just an interface to the usual co.za registration service, so you pay the R50 directly to UniForum as you usually do. I don't charge for using the service, though.
