    Selling a domain name

    The 2 companies that we have heard good things about are: sedo.co.uk namejet.com To actually get a sale on the domains it will depend on how good they are to people. It might be worth posting the list on these forums and see if people put a bid in for them. Best of luck!

    You might want to run a test on these tools to ensure you have everything setup correctly for your mail services: http://mxtoolbox.com/ - Test your servers IP http://intodns.com/ - Test your website and check all DNS/MX records As others have said it takes some time to propagate through when...

    Who to register & host .fr domain with? (for my uk company)

    Many companies will provide a .FR domain name but might not list it as part of their main services. Always worth to ask directly. Also a quick Google brought up a number of companies that can provide the service for you: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=.fr domain registration&oq=.fr domain...

    Which is best web hosting after Hostgator?

    As many have already said there are hundreds of hosting firms out there... most provide the exact same thing just for different prices. I would recommend making a wish list of features you need from your new hosting company and get together a short list together. Then post that list here and...

    You might want to read this: https://support.google.com/checkout/sell/answer/3080449?hl=en-GB As I said in my previous post Google is stopping their payment gateway and ONLY Google Play products/apps will be integrated with the Google Wallet/Payment system.

    E-mail marketing tool

    Many use companies such as MailChimp etc and even we have a partner company BoldMailer which offers mailing tools and marketing. As some others have said the manual email send can be better but depends on what you want your mail marketing tool to do for your business as many are general tools.

    Property Website

    A plan and as much research as you can do is always best. Also you might want to have a little read of this: http://www.colinharris.net/technology/vebra-rightmove-api/ - Found via a Google Search

    Property Website

    Have to agree with @fisicx here as the advertising costs of letting agents is huge and you will be competing with larger companies who can list on Rightmore/Property Finder and so on. I wouldn't give up as any company can work as long as you have a plan! I would first start researching...

    Would u go forward with a business if u owned the .co.uk and someone else had the com

    Having a .com & .co.uk is the ideal situation but I would not let this put you off going forward with just one of these. As long as the .com site is not in the same industry and/or offering the same sort of products I do not believe it will cause too much damage. Just my 2 cents/pence ;)

    Basic Ordering System

    If you are going to be using something like PayPal then you can just use the PayPal cart/buy button. PayPal provides the code for your website and if you are only selling 1 item then you do not need a full shopping cart system as it can turn people off. You might want to check out Amazon's...

    CWCS Hosting and Co-Location

    They are overall a reliable provider but their due require contracts (1-3 years sort of thing) with most of their services so as with any provider that requires contracts just make sure they offer everything you require. Also if you do a Google search they do have a lot of happy customers.

    JustHost... appalling service.

    Their general network is not the most reliable of networks but as others have said it is the problem with being part of the EIG brand.
