Hosting

Options
Hi everyone,

can anyone recommend me any good hosting companies? there's just too many choices lol!!

ive looked at one(dot)com (sorry can't post links yet, which seems to be quite cheap, the website that i am building is quite basic though, no database but maybe in the future there will be, is there anything I should avoid when choosing my hosting? I would like to keep the costs to a minimum :)

Any advice???

Thanks KK

    If it is just a personal site have you considered using free hosting?
  • Hi thanks for the replies,

    @kwikbreaks I did look into free hosting but would prefer no ads, i did try to sign up to one but they said that i had to participate in their forum or something to get it so just gave up
    do you know of any good free ones or can you point me in the right direction?

    Thanks, KK

    I've used phpwebhosting.com for 8 years with no problems whatsoever. Costs around £8 per month, is US-based, and offers all of the usual hosting facilities (including domain parking / sub-domains etc.)
