""The problem of going limited is that you’ll need an accountant to look after your accounts" Why? Standard accounting software will generate all the reports that need to be submitted to companies house and the hmrc.

According to @fasthosts subdomains can't have underscores and mx records can't have subdomains. Why can't they build systems to standards
Does any one happen to have a php (or similar) array of languages and language codes in the native language? I can't find anything online.
