Domain name and web host?

[Koldov]

Hi All,

 

Not sure where to post this... (MOD please move if there is a more appropriate part of the forum).

 

My business manager is looking to set up a catering business to move the school meals away from the LEA.

 

He would like a domain name a small amount of space to set up a web page.

 

Does anybody have recommendations/experience with a good provider and a good price/service/support structure?

 

Or is it just a case of Gooooogling and picking a random Domains 'R' Us provider?

I've been with Vidahost for the last nine months. They've been good for me. They'll sell you a domain and hosting in a package I'm sure.

 

Lots of people on here use CS New Media I think, although I've no experience of them myself.

I use 123-reg for all of the sites I manage, cheap enough, has lots of features and if you have problems, the support is great.

All my sites are with Free Virtual Servers: Cheap & Free Web Hosting

They do free and paid for hosting with good support, Domain registration etc.

I personally use ezpz hosting. They have a great support board, good forum for any help needed, and a lot of automated installation tools. Makes making the website a lot easier!

Highly recommend http://mythic-beasts.com/ , good honest people, v.friendly and local (well over the border for me!).

Have you got a spare virtual server that you could host the website on yourself ?

 

Just buy domain name, point the DNS records to the IP of your web facing server. You should be good to go.

123 reg have been good for me so far support is ok when you need it!

yeah, don't use them. They fudged a lot of things for me when they did upgrades and happened to bork a HDD with limited back ups. I did some reselling for them, left me with a lot of angry customers, which I had to refund and they didn't cover the costs.
