Ive installed Exchange Server 2003, something im unfamilier with.
Im looking to buy an email domain, I think, but not sure which to go for.
I want 5 email addresses to use with exchange and outlook web access. eg user@mydomain.co.uk
Can anyone please suggest what I need and whos the best to go with?

Any service that will provide you with a domain name is fine. There is no difference from a email domain to another kind of domain. The only difference is the DNS records that point to the domain. For email the MX records will point to the IP of your local network or exchange server. If you already own a FQDN, you just need to update MX records for that domain (as a side note ALL domains are required to have MX records because of internet standards, whether you run a email server or not).
Also, the amount of users you can have is only limited by the amount of CALs that you purchase.

I sure hope you understand what you are doing with your mail server.
If you don't have it secured it will become another compromised spam relay server and the most you will notice is it seems slow.

I've read several post in this forum that warn of the dangers of having an unsecured exchange server. Could someone point me in the direction of a GOOD exchange security document. I do know about google, but for this sort of thing i'd rather go on recommendation.
