It is not wise to buy your domain from the same people that are going to
host your site. If in the future you want to change hosting companies, it
is possible they can make it difficult for you to change your domain
settings (eg. nameservers). Believe it or not, this does happen. Like
mentioned earlier, you will want to have total control of your domain. Most
of the poplar domain retailers will have simple, easy to use control panels
that allow you total control of your domain.
Godaddy and 1and1 are two that I use. Both are reasonably priced and have
good reputations.

Are they *really* alright?

And
reading through PIPEX's t&c's it says that (in the case of name
registration) what they do (& just about all they do) is pass the
application on to the relevant naming authority!
Is this really such a difficult thing that we can't do it ourselves
directly?

I have registered three domains with them with absolutely no trouble.
Excellent service and not expensive.

Nothing to stop you AFAIK, but I think you will find it far more expensive -
look at Nominet's home page - 80GBP plus VAT per domain. 123-Reg charges
less than a tenth of that.

ahh yes - .uk is one of the easy ones. the hoops one must jump through to
register a .com (for example) are not so trivial:

I bit the bullet this afternoon and transferred a domain there for
registration. They've got a "sale" on at the moment it says. It claims
they normally charge a fiver for transferring in and it's free now...
Seemed ok, everything automatic, whole job (transfer out of ISP, transfer
in to 123, renew my registration) within an hour (credit card transaction
wouldn't go through immediately (?), and for just over six quid, rather
than the risible £52+ that P***N*t quoted...

You don't HAVE to get a domain, you can get a free sub domain at dyndns.com
or no-ip.org. I recommend the free account on dyndns.com because it has no
ads, I use the .ath.cx (zentec.ath.cx is my site and it works fine)
