Software to use - anything from Notepad to Dreamweaver/Visual Studio, and Fireworks/Photoshop for graphics

How do you register the name of the site you want? - www.easily.co.uk do a search and see if the domain you want is available.
What's the site for?
Will it need a database?
Who's going to keep it updated?

The site is going to be set up to review products

Not sure as I am just trying to find out the basics first for them

Not sure think it may be the person wanting to start the web site that will keep it updated

whats the difference between having .co.uk or .com at the end as .co.uk is alot cheaper to register than .com

Why pay the extra for .com?

cheers

.COM was meant to be for commercial sites, but basically is seen as a global or US site.

.co.uk was intended for commercial UK sites.

Depends if the name is still available and who/where your target audience is, as to which domain is suitable.
