I could, but that brings a different set of problems. The current host do not allow 301s or fully support .htaccess files so I wouldn't be able to set up a Google friendly way of redirecting and / or rewriting the URLs.

There would possibly be problems with the sandbox and ageing of the URL.

Hampstead, you could try asking your client to register a .co.uk and parking his current domain on top.

No - If you host with 1and1 you will not be found for UK searches on Google unless you have a .uk TLD.

The company is based in the UK. The servers are in Germany.

Or you could build him a website with a CMS backend... Then he has full control of the content but can't screw up the design

I can find a UK host easy enough. It's the web builder I'm after.

Must be hosted on a UK IP block.

I think I'll have to show him how to use FP.

Yes, 1and1 uses servers in Germany.

Are you sure in it? As for UK hosting you may look at xilo.net and unitedhosting.co.uk. I have heard they are good.

Just 1 note about 1 and 1 UK though, the servers are in Germany and not in the UK.
