[wdvltalk-social] must find a host and domain....

[joseph harris]

Ah.   I'm about to show a bit of ignorance... I am not sure what 
an smtp relay is. I am thinking of sending mails from the 
desktop, but not having to go to a webmail account to do so. Can 
you explain if relay is the normal availability of an smtp 
server.

I could get round it, but it would be my preferred option.

Joseph,

Are you referring to SMTP relays?  If you are you get 250 free.

I had another look at your prompting and the bandwidth is
extraordinary at the extra price [yes still low] but there is no
smtp - at a pinch I can live without it - and i don't think they
take PayPal. The last is more of a problem at this moment.

Certainly a good buy. I'm considering the next move on it.

There are a lot of very good deals on the net, but I can't find
quite what i
need at the price I need to start at.

-.co.uk domain is easy enough and bandwidth is probably
sufficient for
starters [1500 is the least I have seen]
- low priced hosting is easy enough and the least seems to be
about £18 pa.
But I really want to have smpt - one box at the start will be
fine - but it
seems to put a big hike on the price...

Any ideas to hold the initial cost down, down, down?

TIA  -   Oh and I need to pay via PayPal.
