Requesting Recommendations

[Wildchild22]

Hey
Until now i have just used my account on my friends webserver to host any websites i have made, however for certain reasons, im going to have to use a different server for a project, the server MUST have PHP and MySQL, the rest doesn't matter, but some form of Control Panel would be useful (Cpanel is the one i've been using before now)

also, the main criteria is that it must be as CHEAP AS POSSIBLE

anyways, thanks in advance

persoanl recomendation is www.get-hosted.co.uk

Taking a look now
so far its looking pretty good
british prices too, always good to use a company in the same country as you

However for the cheap package it says:
Parked Domains-0
Addon domains-0

i assume this means i can't use my own domain, im currently 17 year old and unemployed, but i am looking for a job, if i was to go for the £24 a year package i think i'd have to wait till i have a job

No addonds are like extra domains you can hsot on the same account.

with any hosting account anywhere that you pay for the hosting is on your domain


Just means you can only hsot one domain with it

 

[Wildchild22]

so i can still set up one domain and use it for the site? it doesn't have to be the one they give me?

 

[Morph]

Well, You need to have a domain name
And you tell them that whatever way they accept, and they will set up your hosting with that domain name.

Im trying to compare

http://www.get-hosted.co.uk -> Charter Package
and
http://www.polurnet.com -> Basic Paw Lite package

i'm not sure which is the better option

Actually USD is much less than Pounds, so I'm cheaper, per se

And we also get the latest CPanel and WHM as usual

Our really nice Uptime stats were shown to wildchild as well for the past year

 

[Wildchild22]

another thing i was thinking, the get-hosted thing uses british pounds as its currency, so i don't have to worry about the exchange rate changing and making me pay more, right?

 

[Morph]

2.00 GBP = 3.50428 USD
taken from XE.com


Get-hosted appears to be cheaper

Another thing: we offer 12 hour-or-less guaranteed support replies (avg. last month was 2-3 hrs) and full-featured Live Support during normal business hours, via online chat. I don't see much available support options apart from the basic email/tickets on gethosted...

http://www.polurnet.com/shared/compare.php

that's what you're looking for the full-featured list we have. Features such as DBs, FTP, Email Lists, etc easily adjusted for free as required, since you're coming from Namepros.

The button link is not updated on the home page yet, but at http://www.polurnet.com/shared/ they are

Yup, same here, I gave wildchild my offer, he's going to shop around he said first, which is always a good idea before going with ANYONE. So, good luck! :tu:

 

[Morph]

Yep, hosting is important and it is essential to get something right for you.

Hope you find what you want

 

[Wildchild22]

lol its so much easier when you're not paying :P

 

[Royalty Hosting]

Yes, it is quite easy when you don't have to pay but when you pay you should expect better reliability and support, which is a good thing!
