Any uk'ers here have a website, that has a proper domain name and is hosted properly.

The choices are so perplexing.

I want cheap(ish) hosting but with decent space and bandwidth.

I want a domain with WHOIS Opt-out.

I don't mind buying them individually, even though the hosting will probably come with a domain name. If it does and it has WHOIS Opt-out then all well and good, if not I can use that domain for something else, then buy a domain that does have WHOIS Opt-out for using with the hosting.

I take it any domain can be pointed anywhere, regardless of whether it came in a package.

Does anyone know more about this sort of thing?

Yeah, I have looked at 1and1, they are favourites for the domain name, but not the hosting at the moment.

The funny thing was, I could not remember whether it was oneandone.com or 1and1.com so I googled 1 and 1.

I was not expecting the answer I got, I forgot that google did that sort of thing.
