Just an update I did get a little confused, indeed you are correct; i-web took my paypal payment and promptly invoiced me for this.
I was probably getting a little paranoid when I went to that personal details page sign-up and it wasn't encrypted, you never know who could be lurking out there looking at what your looking at
Anyway I am now signed up with i-web and and took advantage of the discount deal for Cable Forum members.
So NTL Webspace was no good to me, because I could not choose my individual and unique domain name.
P.S. Is it easy to get i-web who now host my website to point to my 123reg domain name???
