Web hosting

ZootHornRollo

hi,

i am currently building a website for a club i am in and am nearing the end of the developement. I would now like put it on the web to test the mechanics of it - done on dreamweaver so it better work - and to allow club members to critique it, have their say and add the info i need from them.

I have only used a free host before offering very basic services - little storage and bandwidth - i would like to register a domain (i know the one i want is available) and have the site hosted, i would also like approx 20-30 pop3 email addresses. we don't need a lot of storage space or bandwidth as we are not expecting to have a particularly busy website. just one to convey info to current and prospective members. maybe a small forum.

what are the best value for money sites to offer this? do all companies charge for the year up front? how much should i be paying?

I use hostgator. Their "Baby" package costs £5 per month (charged monthly, not anually). They are very reliable, and good quality. I have tried many other hosts, and this one has been the best so far.

I use a great free host, they are better then paid hosts. http://www.110mb.com then you can buy a domain and link them.
2GB space and 100GB yes 100GB bandwidth. Then you can use Windows Live or GMail custom domain email addresses.

So you buy the domain address at £4 for 2 years of .co.uk and thats all you pay of course if you want people to sign up and to request a new password you have to pay a small fee of $5.

No really I though it was a scam but its not, they are really good, they listen to their members so if you want a frature they will look into it for you.

I'dRecomend you buy the Domain at 123Reg. Then Buy hosting at another place... If the host is BAD you can Point the Domain Nameservers to a new Host. But if you buy it all off 1 Company & you want to MOVE, then its harder...

I've used http://www.i-websolutions.co.uk/hosting.php for many years. Lowest they sell is £16.09 a Year (100mb / 2GB Traffic / 100 Pop3) & the Support & Uptime is GREAT.

I have about 5 plans with them (for my Clients) & there have been no issues to date.
