Web Hosting

theGrinch

I currently have a domain registered and hosting through doteasy. Been with them a few years, but I have very limited email capacity.
Hosting is fairly basic for 15 pages (no media) for £100 a year.
My hosting expires in September and my domain in January.
Any suggestions of where I can move my domain and host my site for less?

£100 a year for a basic package sounds way expensive. I have a legacy package (Home Pro) with TSOHost (previously was Namehog) that costs £60 per year + VAT. TSO's latest packages start at £3.99 per month + VAT ... there are many other hosting providers too.

I use 1&1 at the moment, they often have special offer packages at around £1+vat per month. Beware, though, when that expires it will jump to something like £6 a month, so you need to be on the ball and take out a new offer and cancel the old one before it automatically renews at the higher rate. This can (but not always) mean that you have to re-load your site, re-create any emails, and download any IMAP emails that you're storing on their server. That might or might not be worth it to you.

I've recently moved to Shark hosting following a rec on here

Mines a basic site so opted for the basic £6 a year package, so far without problems

They have supposedly unlimited e mail but not tried that option

Usual C panel & FTP uploading

Domain name is with 123, DNS servers changed over without any problems

looking at your requirement you can go with basic hosting package offered by hosting I have been using   WebhostUK works really good with 24x7 support for even the smallest package I have purchased.

if its a static HTML site you can host in azure, with HTTPS, pointing to a domain of your choosing for free

Another vote for TSOHost (previously VidaHost for me). They are ultimately under the GoDaddy umbrella, but IME their support has been excellent and while not the cheapest company around, they are not expensive for what they offer and will cost you less than you currently pay.

You can also host static sites on it (bit of a faff on setup but works)
