    Google adwords

    The budget is too low imo, even over on r/ppc reddit they say even £1k is not much for Adwords these days but again this depends on what keywords etc you want to target and the competition. You may want to try Microsoft Ads where CPC is lower generally but also lower traffic/quality levels.

    Some constructive website feedback

    The site itself doesn't look bad at all and looks fine on mobile devices as well but as others mentioned the name might be an issue, seems to be used by a new build developer already.

    Sending emails without consent.

    Account notifications, nothing wrong with that and doesn't require any sort of user confirmation. Its default on a lot of sites these days.

    Lad wants to build own computer - start cheap or not?

    You'd be very lucky if you got anything close to how much it originally cost unless its pretty new. Checking prices on ebay sold listings for same/similar config would give good idea. If CPU/RAM etc is all good then he can just sell the card and get new graphics card, it is easy to replace...

    Ebay Shop log-ins

    Sadly not possible directly, third party selling tools would probably have this feature however if its not a lot of items that will be listed frequently then probably not worth that route.

    Anyone running a self-hosted mailing list? I'm sick of useless cloud services!

    Alternative that works great is using Sendy + Amazon SES sendy.co

    Website review

    The site is OK but just that, its not responsive and looks quite bad on mobile devices. There should really be no exception in the modern day not to have a fully responsive site.

    Wifi Extenders

    Wifi extenders aren't that great but Ubiquiti is an overkill for 99% of people at home as well. Take a look at the many mesh networks now available at low prices that work great out the box with minimal configuration like bt whole home (don't need bt to use it!) / tenda nova.

    Looking for a reliable UK web host.

    Your requirements are quite low, even 25GB SSD is low. Hardware and SSD prices have dropped a lot in the last 1-2 years. Did you end up picking a provider?
