Are we meant to get the domain name from the same people that offer hosting?

Hi Sir, I was wondering, is there is a difference between having personal hosting and hiring a server? The reason why I ask is because I have purchased a domain name and personal hosting from 600Host UK, and am not sure if I have also loaned a server as there is no mention of me having one on the site. I have also been looking on the site for ways of starting to create the website, but there is no way of doing this, do I have to use a website manager like frontpage to create the webpages and then upload them?

Hi,
Do you think it's ok to have a number in your domain name or do you think this could be confusing?

Thanks

I have purchased a server but it is still pending. What should I do if it is still pending by tomorrow when the questionnaire is due?

During last weeks lecture you had shown us the web hosting websites that you had picked, further into the lecture you had realised that one of the web hosting servers did not have Fantastico, im not too sure to which web hosting company it was, could you confirm whether it was Lycos? i am going to sign up to lycos but would like confirmation before hand to see whether it fits all the criteria requirements you had mentioned.

Thanks, ps - could you type in your reply on this website

Hi Sir;
i just want to know that if once we submitted our activity 2, and then we find out that our server or chosen domain name is not working properly, and if we change the name. so do we have to do the activity again, or u will accept the first one?

Hi Jonathon,

I've purchased a domain name and I was told I will recieve a confirmation email within 24 hours and still have not recieved it! I was hoping it would arrive before the Tuesday midnight but hasn't! :( I can't purchase hosting as my domain name has not been registered with the company! I'm completing the survey, but will my survey be accepted? I think my domain name should be up and running by Wednesday latest if I can get the confirmation email!!
