123-Reg www.123-reg.co.uk  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 5 Stars
123-Reg review: For a long time Easily has been the best place to register domain names, but now we find ourselves using 123-Reg more frequently. They have an excellent registration and domain management process, and the domain prices are very low. They are also closely linked with the excellent Webfusion hosting company. Thanks for your vote

Sprant - eCommerce StartUp Resources www.sprant.com  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 2 Stars
Sprant - eCommerce StartUp Resources review: Essentially a series of links (mainly commission-generating) to service providers such as insurance companies, ISPs, company registrars, search engine submission. Not the most beautiful site, and we know little about the companies features, so difficut to recommend.

UseIt www.useit.com  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 5 Stars
UseIt review: In simple style, Web guru Jakob Nielsen presents his guide to usability on the web. This site should be required reading for all web designers, novice or on their third IPO. Five years of web design expertise just can't be argued with.

UK TopHosts www.uk.tophosts.com  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 4 Stars
UK TopHosts review: Guide to UK web hosts. Ranks top hosting providers, but provides no details of how the analysis is carried out. And rather worryingly rates Fasthosts as top UK host - top "cheap & chearful" hosts might be more appropriate.

Tradedoubler www.tradedoubler.com  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 5 Stars
Tradedoubler review: Place banners on your site and get a percentage of the profits of any visitors to those sites. So if someone clicks a BT advert on your site, and then goes to sign up for broadband, you'll get a pound or two. Sign-up with TradeDoubler and then select from their large range of advertisers. Probably the most robust of the affiliate programmes, free to join for you, but very expensive for the advertisers, so probably gets a greater number of 'blue chip' merchants.

PHP.net www.php.net  Open Site in New Window
Rating: 5 Stars
PHP.net review: Offical site of the PHP Programming Language, providing a huge depth of information on PHP, easy search methods, clearly laid out function reference information, and user comments and additions. Why doesn't Microsoft have anything so clear and useful?
