website host needed

I need to find a host as cheaply as possible but without ads. Can anyone recomend anywhere that's reliable please? I won't be selling anything from it : it'll be pretty basic it's just to give info about a charitable group. I've looked around but trying to decide which one looks best is just confusing me and they all look quite pricey. I'll also need to sort a domain name too but that looks simpler.

    https://www.123-reg.co.uk offers cheap domains (including .org for use at a charitable domain) and then small hosting packages on top.
  • I use Compila . From £1.00 month with free UK domain name. I've found them very reliable with no problems to date and very helpful and non-condescending when I've asked them (stupid :o ) questions.
    I live in my own little world. But it's okay. They know me here.

    Thanks.
    Do you use Linux November? They offer the Linux as a lot cheaper but what would that mean in practical terms: I have someone else working on actually producing the thing, I just have to find somewhere to park it.

    I'd looked at 123 reg isofa but hadn't heard how reliable it was.
  • We use www.fasthosts.co.uk for most of our Clients, and find them really good. they're reliable, have hardly any downtime at all, and an excellent support team. When I email them a question, I genearlly get a reply within 30 minutes.

    Good luck!

    I use them - you have to know html etc yourself though - this isn't a host for a complete beginner.
  • I have 3 sites hosted by https://www.3ix.com . Alot of pple will slate them but in a year and a half I haven't had any issues. I havent had much contact with them as I havn't needed to. at 59p a month for 1 site.
    I generally use https://www.lycos.co.uk to buy domains. You actually own the name yourself through them.

    I am using Easily but they can work out expensive. Additionally for another of my websites I am hosted via MSE member Seaweasel - much cheaper, proper email included and about the same uptime - about £15 per year but will it stay this cheap?
  • I'm using the FREE http://www.communitykit.co.uk/ for a charity website and also a community group website.

    The only advert is this:
    "Powered by Recipero Working together with BT "

    Hope this helps.
    ps googlepages may be another option? I haven't used it yet but keep meaning to :)

    Thanks everyone: I'll pass on the info and see if husband can find something suitable. He already uses easily for a domain name for a club he belongs to (http://www.minisininverness.co.uk/ if anyone's bored enough to look!) and he does know html : it's me that's clueless! It's him that's doing the hard work but it's me the committee will growl at if things go wrong.
