Hi,

I've been asked to code, design and run the website for our local town council. Unfortunately the money pot is rather tiny, so I'm having difficulty getting everything online. I've found a hosting provider (£19 p/a) and need help finding a domain registrar that will allow me to register a gov.uk address for an initial charge of approx 130 inc. VAT, with an ongoing charge of about 80 (both per two years) - as I have an external hosting provider I will need to point the dns records to the hosting provider. Can anyone make a recommendation? I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers,
Av
