Page 1 of Website hosting recommendations please...

...specifically multi-domain hosting.

Basically want to host several basic (don`t need no fancy stuff) websites and it`s cheaper to do it on a multi-hosting account.

I don`t need a re-seller account either (at least at the moment) because it`ll only be for 2 or 3 small, simple sites to link back to my main website.

Current possibilities:

1&1 also uk2

Thanks for your help. Thelp.

Having dealt with both 1&1 and UK2 (and their shoddy service) I`d recommend neither of them. I`ve been with these for nearly 5 years http://www.twentyhost.co.uk/ really good pricing, the best service I`ve come across (and I`ve dealt with A LOT of hosting companies) and everything you`d need included that with many others you have to pay extra for.

In 5 years I`ve noticed downtime on about 3 occasions, none of which were considerable.

Exactly the kind of thing I want to know about. Cheers.

How about www.000webhost.com ... they`re free!

Well, you can`t get much cheaper than free. Always a bit suspicious of free sites though.

My current front runner is probably this bunch http://www.hostpapa.co.uk/

Have a look at Tsohost - UK based, very reasonable prices and outstanding support. I`ve used them for over three years and had no complaints whatsoever.

who did you go with in the end?

I may need to look into a new host, I don`t need anything fancy.

I`ve been with web-mania (now yorhost) for years, but today got an email from nominet saying my domain will be suspended as it has not been renewed :(

I paid yorhost a month or so ago, so have emailed them to ask what`s going on, but a quick google suggests this happened to a few ppl :(

Didn`t go with anyone in the end!

Typical me, didn`t get round to sorting it all out. On the verge of going with hostpapa though.

got an email from them, apologizing for inconvenience saying it`s being sorted now, and looks like it is at nominet.org as well.

cheers

my yorhost / web mania hosting is up for renewal, I don't actively develop my site any more but I wouldn't want to lose the name, haven't and don't intend to do anything fancy with it, but I may want to dabble again

bill is £35.99pa, quick google I see there are cheaper options, so wondering whether to move on to a cheaper host, but if yorhost hit me with a "handling fee" for moving, that may negate any savings in switching

Cheers
