    Is this just getting a domain name?

    Do I have to design a website myself?

    How would I put a secure way of paying laser/credit cards on it. Is this my job or do blacknight do this?

    And what are the prices?

    Sorry for the possibly stupid questions :)

    We offer hosting and domain names as well as several other services

    We do not offer website design or development - that's up to you.

    Having said that, all our hosting plans come with a sitebuilder tool

    Pricing on hosting:

    Thank you :)

    So the deals for this weekend, 4 euro for registration for one year.

    This mean I have that domain name for a year and can set up a website? What happens after the year is up?

    Is there any other costs during the year?

    You need to buy hosting if you want to use a domain
    We offer a few "bundle" deals where the 1st year registration of the domain name has a big discount

    After the first year you pay our normal renewal rates (unless we distribute some discount codes for renewals, which we have been known to do :) )

    I won't be making any site but was just doing some research in case I do want one.

    I'm not the most knowledgeable I'm afraid, I'm getting a guy to do the sites for me.. I thought you might have thought by mistake that I was from blacknight:)
    Feel free to pm if you have a specific question, if it is something I can help you with i'll certainly try

    A site like boards can be made with VBulletin and its what this sitei run off.

    A peronal site can be made using wordpress

    Therese plenty of site that can be made with shopping carts software thats available, all you have to do is tweak it,

    If you really want to lean website programming its really JSP and PHP unless you want to make a basic website.

    i have many websites (both personal and for clients) and i can't recommend blacknight highly enough. reasonable pricing, easy to use control panel and best of all their support is truly unbelievable (even when helping with problems i have been responsible for myself!!).
