Wordpress Site and Hosting

Loafer

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has a Wordpress site at all and what host they use?
I am looking for recommendations for a host so I can fully customise a "blog" i want to put up.
My current site is with Fasthosts and they dont support Wordpress (without charging me £160!) so need to switch from them.

Help, as always, appreciated!

Try student web host. I have just bought a package with them, it only cost me £4 a month, they have a half price sale on or something, i will try and find the code

I think this is the one:
STUSPESPR09

The website is:
www.studentwebhost.co.uk

They are really friendly on the live chat aswell!

Relichost will do what you need for £6 a year! You can integrate Wordpress (or b2evolution or Nucleus blogging scripts) using Fantastico in the cp.

theres no admin option
it says Cgi/bin, Testserver, images or postinfo.html

You didn't pay attention when you installed WordPress - on the last screen it gives you a link to your admin section - should be something like:
yourwebsite.co.uk/folder you put wordpress into/wp-admin/

This should then bring you to a login screen for your wordpress admin.

You're absolutely right! Thanks.. I deleted it and installed it again and bookmarked the login url. :beer:
