Default Website Host - Recommendations

Hi,

need a hosting company for a wbsite a fellow Scoobynetter's doing for us - had a look around but there seem's so many to chose from. The domain currently sits with 123-reg.co.uk but not too sure what packages are best ! The website will be business critical and will be constantly updateded and may incorporate advanced features at a later date such as database connectivity etc.

Any help appreciated, if anybody has any oher suggestions please let me know !

Thanks, Jai

what sort of bandwith requirements do you have?

Windows or unix?

Mysql or SQL Server?

Dedicated box or shared?

Do you need security certificate?

How much do you want to spend?

Preferably Windows but I realise UNIX is probably better suited. I'm used to Windows so prefer that !

Mysql or SQL Server?
Mysql

Dedicated box or shared?
Shared

Do you need security certificate?
Not at this moment

How much do you want to spend?
Not too much - business is slow so as functionality increase we expect to pay more at a later date. Initially, we just require somethng cheap which can be expanded.

Titan.net - Basic package is £50+vat or so. IMHO - Excellent value. And a good clear upgrade path to greater functionality as needed.

Pay very little - and you *will* get very little.

Ah ok,

For a windows solution I recommend www.1and1.co.uk

My work site is based there www.physicalcompany.co.uk - on the MS Professional package (shared)

For a (cheaper) unix solution, use www.34sp.com - my personal site is based there:

www.lanse.co.uk and costs £45.00 per year

Both sites have been really reliable - with 1and1 being better.

34sp only have e-mail / irc support - but is very fast

1and1 has telephone support.

Hope this helps
