Hello;

I am rying to set up a small computer repair business and need to find wholesalers of PC Products. I have looked for companies that sell at wholesale to traders but most require you to register prior to offering pricelists any help would be appreciated.

I have just been investigating Dropshipping but it seems the only way to make a profit and make the business sustainable is to buy direct, keep it simple.

Couple of other questions:

1. As a Sole Trader I know that I do not need to register my business name with the National Business Register, but how do I protect it?

2. Any advice on free / cheap Web Hosting.

3. Any advice on best options for Domain Name registering? whether to use my.name.webhost.co.uk or using my own domain myname.co.uk  

4. Choosing a name, I have chosen a couple of names that are not registered as such all domains are available. I have searched the National Business Register and local Ads anywhere else I need to check.
