FOAK: Website Hosting recommendations needed

Looking to set up a(nother) website for a club and am after recommendations
from thee.

I have had a few sites before and have always used easily.co.uk and they
have always been good.

However, Im wondering if i really am right when i say to people "you get
what you pay for" and " I know they're a little dearer than others but
......"

So, is there really such a thing as a host that'll gimme 100mb of space, FTP
access, a website name, at least 5gb of bandwidth all for less than £20 a
year (ok excluding the webname) but that is also actually reasonably
reliable and ad free?

 

A couple of months ago I would have unhesitatingly recommended Purple Cloud,
but they've been having a bit of a nightmare of late. Apart from their
recent troubles, though, they've been excellent - and if you were only
hosting a website, rather than relying on them for email, even their recent
outages wouldn't have been a big deal, IMHO

Hmmmm, looks pretty good, think ill book mark them and have a comparison
with any others that the Font may recommend

 

doteasy.com's Zero-dollar plan:

I have had a few sites before and have always used easily.co.uk and they

I was going to recommend hostmysite.com [1] until I saw the £20pa budget -
their base package starts at US$8.95 pcm.

Basically you gets what you pays for.

[1] I run three commercial sites with the above and have proved rock steady.

interesting, seems a bit too good, and not sure about using a firm from
abroad, probably makes bugger all difference i guess.
Have you actually used them though darsy?

yes - loads of times - no problems at all. www.ukrm.net lives there,
for example.

The fact they're in the US is completely irrelevant.

 

When I was looking to do a similar thing I came across this lot -
http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/

I used the live chat to ask some questions and got through pretty quickly
and everything was answered satisfactorily. There was a huge pause at one
point, so whether the staffing level was stretched I don't know.

I didn't go through with it, because the club haven't come up with the web
pages yet. Could be worth a look though.

 

http://www.web-mania.com/

Reliable. Price is £20 - about to go up to £25 a year.

 

Used them myself for a couple of years and never had a problem. This site
also lives on it. www.kevincarmichael.com

 

i have one of mine with them too. no problems at all.

IIRC they're in Canada.

sure, I have some others with them too - ukrm.net is just the one we
used them for first.

not much difference

 

I can't see the Chinese being *that* interested, tbh.

I've told you before and I'll tell you again...

www.pogga.co.uk

250mb and 5gb pm for £10 per year

double for double

 

http://www.pogga.co.uk/Hosting.php

"We hire the best

Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer"

"Our servers run on Linux"



Or you could come to me and get all of the above wishlist plus use of a
content management engine to play with for a few shekels more so your club
members can update their own website and you can move on to other stuff.
