Anyone recommend a web hosting/website builder package?

Hi, I’m new but I think I can still help
Seems like a DIY website builder is the perfect answer for you – usually it includes a web builder, a domain and hosting all together, so you don’t need to worry about that, and as well it is usally cheap.
If you will find a good site builder, then it will be easy as too:)
I can recommend exai.com, that’s the one I decided to choose after a little research.

Hope I helped,
Josh

Problem with this is if you want to leave this hosting for whatever reason, you will generally find the domain linked to the the package and transfer of the website impossible, so you would need to start all over again when moving to a different hosting company.

It would be worth learning a little more about hosting and platforms and getting to grips with Wordpress, which is a simple platform but very very versatile.

I used these videos to learn about Wordpress although you could probably find the info free online if you search for it. Cost was minimal and they were very helpful- i have recommended them elsewhere on here today as well.

These webbuilder packages are very limited and are really problematic when you want to leave the company, I wouldNt recommend any of them. A little more effort and you can become independent!

Webeden or Moonfruit are good sites for WYSIWYG website creation. Simple enough even I can do it, also go to the library and get some books on building websites for beginners (Websites for dummys do a step by step guide in 'plain English' and others have good publications too) Good luck.

I can talk only about exai.com because that’s what I use, but I don’t see any reason to leave the hosting, and if I want to change the domain to whatever other domain I have then I can do it for free.
I prefer less coding and more user friendly.. and I don’t agree that your suggestion is a little more effort, it’s a lot more effort than an online website builder..

Linux Hosts Ltd is great. I have been hosting with them since 2010 and never had any serious problem. Very helpful people and almost 100 percent up time. I pay 4.77 a month for a business package deal.

I have used streamline.net for the last 4 years - they have good templates and a simply to use Site wizard - their prices are also quite reasonable and support is fairly quick.

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good, easy hosting and web builder package that is inexpensive?

Thank you in advance

I've been using names.co.uk for my web hosting and haven't had any complaints so far. When I did have a question, it was quickly solved by a UK based service center.

It is worth noting actually that they've just launched a 'limitless' package which i'm thinking about upgrading to. The 'starter' package for personal websites starts at around £4.99 which is pretty good to be honest. I wouldn't necessarily go for the cheapest packages on the market as you'll find yourself compromising on service etc.
