Hosting/Domain Registration

Jeeva · 1 Jul 2007 at 04:26

Hey all,
Would anyone care to recommend me a domain registration and/or hosting service? I would host stuff myself, but for my abysmal 512 connection.
Not looking for anything particularly special, just the basics.

Anyone got anything fun?

Thanks,
Jeeva

Does your ISP provide you with any web space? My Plus package gives me 250MB and domain registration is £1 per month extra.

1and1 are good, I've been with then for a few years now and have had no problems what so ever, you can find them here1and1

Thanks =)

I'll check them out now.

I don't believe my provider gives us any space, but I'll check up on it.

- Sorry for posting in the wrong section, I honestly thought it was the more appropriate of the two.

Edit: And of course, I missed the huge sticky. Many, many apologies. :rolleyes:

Hostway are quite good - I've found their webadmin interface to be really good and gives much better control than others. (at source spam filtering being a major plus!)

I do my domain registration through 1&1 and my hosting through Dreamhost. Haven't had any problems yet.

1and 1 where terrible in my experience.
Quit my package within the 14 days allowed infact more like 3 and it took 2 months to receive my money back and lots of idiots on the other end of the phone.
Templates for the likes of oscommerce etc. wont work either because of their setup so absolutely terrible for anyone wishing to run a decent shop.

Dreamhost on the other hand have their servers in the US.
Whilst this is good for the pocket with regards the exchange rate it is a bad thing should your domain be targeted at the UK or EU for rankings.
