Thanks David for your comments and good luck with your
website hosting.
I've signed up to the copper package using the "I will use my existing domain and update nameservers only" option with my .com. However 1&1 say "Older domain packages may not have full DNS management. Upgrade to the latest version to access this feature." which means I'm stuck as I cannot log into my cpanel. Can my package be changed to my .name, which has DNS management, or have I just wasted my money?
Why is it so complicated? I only want a bit of web space for my domains!
