Is there any way to open $ bank account in UK?

-I would like to have $ in it and use it on the internet for business purposes (I guess it could be cheaper than using pounds and convert it all the time). I would pay for US hosting, some software etc. What is the best way to do that from UK? Thanks.I don't follow your logic. I'm in London England, and I regularly purchase from American sites in dollars, paying via my PayPal account. In fact I recently saved 30% off the price of a piece of software by paying the dollar price rather than the sterling price. The sterling price was 拢12.95 and the dollar price was $15.45 (拢9.90)
