Hey guys,

My personal website is due for renewal and my hosts have just been in touch.

For 2 years I've been with Streamline.Net on their Power package. Apart from a few little MySQL niggles which were soon rectified, their service and support has been flawless; I couldn't have asked for more? The renewal is £65 for another two years (which, I guess includes further domain registration for another two years?) and I'm just wondering whether or not to hit Buy straight away, or is there anything much better out there for the money?

I can't imagine prices have changed that much in two years, £65 was a good price back then, but I just thought I'd check :)

Cheers,

SW.
 
SurpassHosting for me - their support is second to none, I've reported server faults before that turned out to be my own website faults, and they've even fixed my own php scripts for me!
 
What sort of bandwidth does your site use? All the steamline packages say Un-restricted Bandwidth.

Just wondering because I use Vidahost, which is £59 for 1.5gb space and 50gb bandwidth, for a year.
 
Thanks guys!

My site is basically centred on a .php forum with, when it's active, I'd say around 40-70 users using it simultaneously - nothing too strenuous :)

benjo - It would appear, in brief comparison, Vidahost are a bit on the pricey-side compared to SL?

That's a fair price - I know lots of people have problems with Streamline (who are a subsidary of Fasthosts, and just resell their products) but if you're happy with them then it's probably not worth moving.

2Gb now :)

And there might be a special offer or two on our homepage:cool:
 
I use streamline as well, and just up for 2 years renewal, only problem I had is that when the site got too busy, they send you a warning email about your shared hosing taking to much of the server, so I moved it on to a more beefed up server.

Its a great site for initial startup, and I host my own site with them, would be interested in the results.
