    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    yes looked at their other posts and it seems they like pushing Godaddy and EIG brands

    we dont know what sort of site OP is wanting hosting and that £12.99/yr plan is only 1GB (1000MB) of space which is not a lot if you add images as 3 images would take up that space alone

    Could you expand on this? What type of 'image' are you referring to, that 3 of them total 1GB in size? Disk images?!

    pictures/graphs etc. can take a lot of space on a website, then you have text to add, URL links all take space. In hosting 1GB is very small to host a website

    Hmmm. :rotfl:

    OP said cheap as chips, couple of emails.

    How does six quid a year sound?

    An image/photo is 300MB+ each? Really?

    And someone would be willing to sit and wait for a web page to download a 300MB+ image?

    The reality that I exist in, that is nonsensical.

    well they can be quick it all depends on the quality and size of the server. but anything hosting on a plan of 1GB or lower is going to be slow and limited

    i have been in the hosing game for many years and spend a small fortune each year to upgrade and maintain my server so that they work fast for all clients. I dont go for the budget market as it causes more hassle than its worth

    Thanks to all the above. I do use the the site for hosting images but only web quality stuff so no need for gigagigs of space.

    Even so, 250MB would be pushing it a bit.

    I'm looking a Falcoda at the moment who are offering 7.5GB for roughly a tenner a year for a 36 month contract.

    The ratio of good to bad reviews is pretty reasonable too.
