    Webhosting recommentation

    Hi,

    I am looking for any recommendations on decent webhosting companies

    I need :-

    PHP, mySQL databases, webmail, decent number of mailboxes, competitive pricing. (oh yes and a support service that bothers to respond if there are issues with the service)

    I only want to host a few company webpages to the public and some "private" stuff in the database so I dont need huge data transfer facilities.

    Any recommendations are gratefully received

    I have already looked at 1&1 and Easyspace - both look to have decent hosting packages - do any of you guys use these people ?


    Thanks in advance
    Eternal

        There is huge competition in this area so prices are low (which means customer service is not of the best).

        I used to use www.supanames.co.uk/ who's cheapest package was pretty good. I moved on to a dedicated server (hosting all the sites) when traffic volume on one of the sites started to make it slow. Strangely enough they were doing an expensive package with a limit of about a couple of gig a month but the rock bottom no limits but bandwidth shared with all the other sites on the box worked reasonably well until I started getting over that.

            Xoggoth - I put some tips on optimisation for decent google ranking s on www.************.co.uk some time ago which you might find handy. They are very basic but you'll find that loads of sites don't do anything other than hope.

            Mind you I guess it depends on how many newt fanciers are searching google too :rolleyes

                Cheers fiddle. Think I've done all the things you recommend but I will go through the checklist. As you say, it's probably the content. I am thinking of adding some short videos of slugs mating, and putting "slimy sex" in the keywords. Or earthworms (hermaphrodites like various invertebrates) "Shemales at it". That should bring em in.
