mkol Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Guys, I am looking to host my website on the net. Can you guys point me in the right direction for a good host. In terms of reliability, good prices, control panel option and support. Someone suggested http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ is it any good. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevisionZero Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would suggest http://www.webfaction.com/ -- Awesome CPanel, great customer support, super cheap ($9.50 monthly, cheaper if you do a year) Gives you full control, ssh, super fast, really really nice setup. 30 Day Money back as well, give them a go! I can answer any questions you have about them also if you have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkol Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I meant UK based one Guys as Google is very fussy about locations. I am based in UK and IF i want to get a good position in Google UK than UK server is a Must. It's something to do with it's mapping of results with location.

You could always go with a cheap Linode Server, here are all the servers they supply. http://www.linode.com/avail/ -- They have plans as cheap as $20 per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffney Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Stablehost has EU hosting, my site is UK and IRE focused and it's perfect. It's the ping your concerned about not the location. EU and UK hosting wouldn't give you any noticeable change. http://www.stablehost.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted April 25, 2012 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 25, 2012 I use http://www.site5.com/ and I can't be happier. They are very cool and they let you choose a hosting location. I've picked them recently after doing a breadth of research :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted April 25, 2012 MVC Share Posted April 25, 2012 Look at OVH's shared hosting, costs about ?28 a year (including vat) for the personal plan. Great for hosting a small website: http://www.ovh.co.uk/shared_hosting/ I have a number of dedicated servers with OVH and have never had any problems with the company.

mkol Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ Is this any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bonez Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I use http://www.stablehost.com/ for shared hosting and http://www.hostmediauk.com/ for a VPS. Both have amazing uptimes, support and prices. Shared hosting packages start at just ?5 a year at Host Media UK or ?1 for life on a trial account. PS I'd highly recommend staying clear of 123reg.

game_over Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Most of the popular hosts mentioned will do the job. If you are unsure i will happily give you 1 month free hosting.. try before you buy :) if after 30 days you aren't happy you can walk away [open to all Neowin members] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
