Can buy from anyone and host anywhere. If your not 100% sure what you're doing I'd recommend someone who can host and supply domain though.

i usually buy thought 123reg..

if you having webspace too, buy that from a diff company, if something goes pear shaped with the hosting, you still got your domain

Now with me, I would say the opposite. If you're with two hosts you've twice the chance of it going down.

1&1 are cowboys. I let a domain expire, but they don't speak enough English there to understand that and tried taking me to court over the fee of about £5.
