Hosting Required - Hostplus have gone belly up!

Tony_H_3

I am in the unfortunate position of requiring hosting. I was on the hostplus basic package + extra shared SSL (https) but it seem's they've gone belly up.......

I'm a simple man with simple needs:

1. At least 100mb of space
2. At least 1.5 3.0gb monthly bandwidth (upgradable)
3. Frontpage Server Extentions
4. FTP & host provided control panel
5. MySql & PHP
6. Upto 50 email addresses
7. Upto 5 sub domains
8. SSL (https)
9. Atleast 1 MySql database
10. Backup facilities
11. Unix based

I have been looking at the entry level 1&1 @ £4.99 / month this is more than double what I currently pay for what im not getting? Is this a wise choice or are there alternatives which are marginally cheaper.

I will also need to transfer my existing .co.uk domain name, speed would also be a cruisual factor (my site's no longer live!!) Ive been left high & dry.

There are so many "hosting" threads I would go blind trying to find the answer's so I figured what the heck, let's add another.

PS - No one suggest HOSTPLUS

are you sure they gone bust? i thought they were bought out by https://www.andhosting.com. have a look at hostplus.co.uk and deenine.com whois info and are are pointing to andhosting.

1 of the many e-mails I received was from a representitive from andhosting. It included all the information eg URL's in order for me to access my account on their servers. The URL's didnt work & they have NOT responded to my emails for assistance. I have been waiting for 5 day's for technical support from andhosting. In my book that is very shoddy service........ They will NOT be getting my business. In the meantime my website continues to be down and I am getting very annoyed.

i would recommend dreamhost i think they are great. although the SSL support may cost a bit more... check them out...https://www.dreamhost.com send them a message they are normally pretty fast to reply but if u send today note it is b/hols in states too!

Hello Tony,


I suggest in doing some research when choosing your new host on webhostingtalk.com or through a few directories like webhostdir , ppcforhosts.com etc.

Best of luck
