No not currently. At present, I recommend 123-reg for the cheapest UK domain name registration I have found.
Don't be afraid to ask about anything. I'll talk you through setting up your website, including getting your domain pointing at your web hosting account and will sort out any teething issues for you.
Again, I will always be more than willing to explain technical jargon and terms to my customers, in as much detail as they wish. I believe it is important that my customers understand how the process works.
I use Linux as are favoured OS because quite simply, Linux is secure and Windows is not. Additionally, Linux is incredibly stable and reliable.

All clients, who are being offered hosting solution services from Kompact Design, must abide by the following terms and conditions.
Kompact Design reserves the right under any circumstance to terminate any service it offers for any reason without prior notice. Under most circumstances Kompact Design will notify the client if such action takes place, however, will not necessarily do so.
Although, no bandwidth or space restrictions are implied in any of Kompact Design packages, they must be used within acceptable limits. Generally, Kompact Design hosts websites that are not heavenly used and therefore, if Kompact Design sees fit, reserves the right to terminate any hosting services without prior notice.
These include spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to those with which the customer has no existing business relationship, posting off-topic advertising in newsgroups); spoofing (using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message; passive spamming (promoting a web site hosted by Kompact Design by spamming from some other source), trolling (posting controversial messages in newsgroups to generate responses), mailbombing (inundating a user with email without any serious intent to correspond), generating a higher volume of outgoing mail than a normal user (20% or more of available system resources), and subscribing someone else to an electronic mailing list without that person's permission. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. Making an email address available to the public does not constitute a request to receive messages. Distribution of mass emailing programs is also prohibited. All recipients on a mailing list must have personally subscribed. Mailing lists may not be used to distributed unsolicited email. Any customer repeatedly "mailbombed" or that attracts such behaviour will be asked to leave.
Examples of unacceptable activities in this regard include posting private information about a person without their consent, infringing intellectual property rights, defaming a person or business, and knowingly making available code which will have a deleterious effect on third party computers. Kompact Design supports free speech on the Internet, and will not suspend or cancel a customer's account simply because it disagrees with the views expressed by the customer.
