Thread: Good simple web host

    Hi Guys,

    would anyone like to recommend a good web host, preferably UK based?

    All I require is good bandwidth, FTP and about 20mb of space.

    My site will be all HTML so no need for databases etc.

    Good value for money as well!

    Ta very much.

    I use hostplus for cheep and cheerfull

    http://www.hostplus.co.uk

    BUT they do pack in the features, I had a few teathing problems rectified by upgrading to a more expensive package.

    But for £20 a year you get loads of features and if you arn't using databases or scripting you shouldn't have the same problems I had originally

    Could give my budget hosting company a try.

    http://uk.yourchoicebudget.com/

    Costs £29.95 for a year, pretty basic stuff. But we do turn on PHP and MySQL for people that want it. A few of the folk on this form use it and if you sign-up to Paid On Results you can use your own affiliate link before placing your order, that will get you £4.79 in commission. Oh and that's for life, so next year when the renewal is due you get another £4.79 in commission or whatever the current commission rate is then.

    we don't use them as we have our own box, but I know the guy who runs it and he's got some good deals. Worth asking about his new plans he's about to introduce, so cheap you'd not believe.

    www.supanames.co.uk

    Probably the best cheap package I have seen yet (£25 for 2 years, including names, php & mysql). Wouldn't use them for .com sites (had real problems with this twice on personal projects), but great to .co.uk stuff.

    Thanks everyone - Lycos looks a good deal especially as I have not registered the domains yet.

    Can't help to feel their servers might be a bit slow? I guess their paid server will be much quicker than their free webspace offering.

    I can vouch for supanames too. Fairly nippy for the price, but I haven't tested their mySQL support.
    Had a little trouble a couple years back when one of my scripts caused a bad loop (so they said) and they cancelled my account, but getting very angry over the phone seemed to do the trick.

    Perhaps this topic should be stickied at the top of the hosting forum - useful stuff!

    I can also vouch for Supanames, but would say that it's not
    easy to transfer out (should you wish to do this in the future).
