Further to my earlier query re. transferring a domain name, I have been told that my domain name does not necessarily have to be with the host for my web-site. Anyone can confirm this?
Yes it's correct, I bought my domain name, but hosted my site on the free webspace (without ads or pop ups) that my ISP provided. You can also add a simple script so your domain name appears in the address bar instead of the isp free webspace name
I write my own html using notepad, though I'm a bit rusty at the moment. I used IPswitch WS_FTP (free version) for uploading files. It's ok once u get the hang of it
