fafster Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I'll be setting up Joomla on it. I'm just after recommendations for hosting companies, and what people's experiences with them have been. Cheers.

gibbo_ap Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 i would look into hosting it your self. this would give the added advantage of AD integration etc and more flexibility. 1and1 are good though.
kmount Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I wouldn't bother hosting joomla internally, if it had been a moodle I'd have said that for the AD auth etc. For joomla I'm assuming as a primary you don't have a massive internet connection upstream, losing this to casual website visitors probably isn't what you want whereas with a moodle it's less of a problem as the majority of visitors are internal. 1
Edu-IT Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Plus then there's one more worry of keeping the web server secure etc.
siuko Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I would highly recommend Tsohost Web Hosting - ASP .NET, MSSQL, PHP, MySQL Support - Domain Registration - Dedicated Servers - Cloud Hosting They are very stable and the best part is the super support. I have my personal websites hosted with these on the Linux Pro package. And also looking to get a VPS server for the schools requirements soon.
pritchardavid Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Evo Hosting I would recommend I have been given the task of finding web host with 50gb space, for our new moodle VLE we are going to set Cant see any company's with that sort of space.. School will not listen to be about getting frog VLE For some reason E2BN dont seem to want to give us an external IP address for it
CSNM-Carl Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Evo Hosting I would recommend I have been given the task of finding web host with 50gb space, for our new moodle VLE we are going to set Cant see any company's with that sort of space.. School will not listen to be about getting frog VLE For some reason E2BN dont seem to want to give us an external IP address for it You would need a VPS/Dedicated Server for that sort of disk space, it just would not be feasible to offer it on shared hosting. For a busy VLE a VPS/Dedicated Server is the best way to go anyway.
pritchardavid Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Thats what I thought we would have to do tbh Moodle will be better internal anyway Have to keep trying to get an external IP address then, E2BN are useless, everytime we has like whats the status, the person doesnt know anything about it Wanted to change the ISP to Virgin Media Business, much faster, school said it was too much :mad: Were specialist in ICT at our school, we cant have a god damn slow internet, we get like 5MB if your lucky (Think we are meant to get 8MB) Upload is brilliant, think it is like 7-8MB) School should not be cheap there really, this is very were having trouble setting up IP address, cause the ISP is crap!
mossj Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) CS New Media used them when I was working in a a school, and use them now for my personal sites. Best support I've had from a host, offers great advice without trying to push his products onto you. Edited January 19, 2010 by mossj
PEO Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 me too school and personal sites, have also suggested cs new media to customers 1
ICT_GUY Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 A word on value, Netpivotal will host 8 sites with 20 sub domains, 12gigs of storage, 160gigs bandwidth, 10 sql databases with all trimmings and top tech support for £9 per month. 1
PEO Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I would look at the reviews on Netpivotal .. some unhappy customers.
firefighting Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Welcome to the home page of The BIG Host I use it for 2 schools and 4 other charity sites. Unix and supports Joomla. Fantastic.
ICT_GUY Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I would look at the reviews on Netpivotal .. some unhappy customers. I have used them for 4 years and host 9 sites with them, never had a problem and technical support has always been 100% I have had upgrades, site moves, data recovery ect all done for me within a 3 hour time scale. What more could you ask for?

What more could you ask for? A postal address? There website does not display one (from what I could see) which is against the Distance selling regulations.
