website host

could anyone recommend a good webhost?? I want top set up a website for my sole trader plumbing business, nothing fancy but at least a web presence.

I have through a fair few forums (webhost reviews and stuff) but for every good word about one host, there seems to be a list of hellish nightmares on another review site about the same host!!!:mad:

    Godaddy is cheap and should do for a simple web presence.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    TSOHost.co.uk and Clook.net are both good.

    Personally i have not had a single issue with 1&1 in nearly 10 years...

    They were a lot smaller back then though, but i still stand by them.

    I would have to mention one thing about them, when you cancel make sure you get it in writing, I cancelled a domain with them. I recorded the call. They claimed I did not and they sent me letters via a debt collector for a £5/year domain. Would not touch them with a barge pole

    I use yola.com and its really simple to use (never having designed a webpage before)

    Edit: its free to use the basic option (5 pages) for the first 2 years. They also do packages you pay for that are more indepth
