Where is the best place to get my own UK website?

[Daniel M]

If you residing in UK and want to start a website try http://www.gbbo.co.uk/
Its a system that Google launched which offers free websites and resources to help British businesses online.
Or you can buy a domain name from domain name registrars like Godaddy.com, Gandi.net, Moniker, Namecheap etc.

Once you have a domain name you will need hosting.
A couple that you could use are Hostgator, 1&1, Easily, Fasthosts etc.

Now if you want to build an eCommerce site the best options would be to built on Wordpress or Magento platform.
