Recommended domain name & web space company?

[Oli_hd]

Hi,

Courtesy of DirectNIC, I am now the proud owner of cd32.info!

Bit late now but I use Oneandone.co.uk for my CDTV website and I cant moan but I also use Freenetname.co.uk who give you a free website and domain name, it is an ISP though so  you have to connect using it occationally if you want to keep your website. :-)

good luck with the CD32 site.

Hi Steve,

As long as all you want to do is to display static pages with no ASP, CGI, or other server-side processing, directNIC's bannerless hosting is fine.  Most people use real hosts however because they need forms processing or other CGI services.

Now I just need to find some web space, and I have already checked out most of the suggestions above... either uh-hosting.co.uk or planetxoops.com looking pretty favourable at the moment. I might even consider DirectNIC's own bannerless hosting, is it any good Wayne?

You should check out lunarpages.com. Their plans are cheap (from $7.99 for 40GB/month) and offer very high bandwidth on their hosting plans. They have a forum for customers and prospective customers at www.lunarforums.com.

That looks very promising! Good prices too.

althought i host most of my sites:

www.cyberfingers.com
www.needforspeeding.com
www.beyondtheredline.com
www.playandshop.com
www.showmeyourmoves.com
www.ballgames.info (register.net)


with uk2net as they offer their websites for free (you just have to pay internic), and they do redirection with a banner. however, for cyberfingers.com because i'm sneaky and a cheapskate  :-D  i don't host it with them (i needed php for xoops [site currently under way]) i use www.50free.com they offer unlimited subdomains under 50free.org, 50 megs space, sql database and php cgi etc. ftp password protect and all the trimmings, they also allow you to web-host a domain. so i direct my uk2net servers to their dns servers, and i get bannerless thingy with paid type features for free  :-D


@wayne

which "package" at planet xoops do you have out of interest?

[carls]

Rats, you coldäve gotten it for free at gonzo.1av10.nu/cd32 fir frere

[Abou27]

freeola.com (Special Reserve) are pretty good for both.  They give you plenty of space and there are no ads or banners plus php + MySQL etc support.  A co.uk address is currently about £9.99 from them.

mysql is optional with them and is very expensive
