Web hosting

Has anyone had any experience with this company http://order.1and1.co.uk/?__reuse=1342121275341
Looking for a domain and a company to host a website. My daughter is starting her own business and would like a simple web site (No online shop or the like) but wants a proper domain and be able to update it herself. Any ideas?

I use 1&1 for a website for work (needs windows server) and they are OK but they are more expensive than my usual hosting provider and when I first went with them it took them 10 days to sort out a problem I was having.

I always use http://www.orchardhosting.com for hosting and can't recommend them highly enough. Good value for money and a very quick response to any problems or questions you might have.


Someone else asked a similar question the other day in fact here

I seem to have installe Joomla and thats freaked me out., I've installed gallery 3 and that's got me a picture thats now viewable by the world, but I don't feel very in control yet

BTW my www is www.plusnine.co.uk

If you are wanting just a homepage and a links page then go for Wordpress, a lot easier to use than Joomla but not as powerful (imo). Also, you can add photos in Wordpress, you could have a photoblog plugin too. You have U2U.

I put the work website on hostpapa. Unlimited download, unlimited e-mail addresses etc.. All in all pretty damn good. Cheap as well... And they're carbon neutral which keeps the green brigade happy...

I run my own server and host my own sites/domains, but it's not exactly easy to set up to be fair. Cheap as chips though!

Am in process of transferring to hostpapa. Tech support has been pretty good, so far, and you can keep your website ad free - if you so wish.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

I'm with hostpapa for a forum/club site and they are pretty good though there's occasional database errors - but never anything that seems to affect visibility.
