Should I purchase a domain name myself?

No - Purchasing your domain name yourself could prove more expensive and cause unnecessary delays. We recommend that you purchase your domain name via ourselves as we only charge a small fee of £10.00 + VAT per annum to cover the cost of dealing with the hosting company on your behalf. All our domains are purchased from a single supplier which enables us to maintain a high level of support with your hosting company.
