Website hosting
July 17, 2009, 06:27:52 pm
Who are people using and what are the best deals at the moment?

I found http://www.fasthosts.co.uk pretty cheap, but never heard of them.  Is it worth looking for hosting in the UK rather than abroad? I have another site hosted  in the US and don't seem to have issues.

I'm not expecting a huge amount of traffic on the site and would like to buy a domain name at the same time

Hit me up with suggestions if you get chance

Cheers!

Won't be unlimited everything - check da small print...

But doesn't sound like you'll need a shit load of bandwidth / space anyway so sounds like a bargain.

Looks like this site has gone tits up.  Good idea I didn't sign up?

Any other (more stable) cheap options as I'm looking again.  Hosting and domain reg would be great

Cheers

UKB / UKcaving are still running with http://Rosehosting.com

I've been so pleased with them I've started up another server with them for my other sites.

I tried some UK companies before getting my new server - they don't compete on price and the customer service is terrible in comparison.

I use Easyspace for my personal website. They have a great reliable service and are fairly cheap. Have used them for about 5 years now.

I use http://www.your-name-here.co.uk/
No problems, very helpful on the phone (always call back when they say they will)...maybe worth a squirt?

I use Orchard Hosting and have done for several years. Based in Manchester, you can always call and speak to a real person if there are any issues. I've never had any downtime and highly recommend the service. I'm currently on the £25/yr package which gets:

1000 MB storage
40 GB/month trafffic
50 email addresses
Free domain
And loads of other stuff I don't need/understand

I've been with Orchard about ten days - brilliant so far. Everything has gone smoothly do far, and support has been very good. Automated Wordpress install etc. And in the MCR, which was a deal breaker. Ta Greg.
