I've completed a website for a friend and I now need to upload to a web host. The one I planned to use was a free host but I've used them before for forums but I need to upload files over 5mb to which they have a limit of (saying this they say 2.1mb is too large).

I need to upload it before thursday and obviously I had plans of doing it last night but trying other things I couldn't even upload a few just to say it was working.

So I'd simply like a host with no file size limits and around 2gb of space and anything over 100gb of transfer, any ideas?

I had used a paid site but they cheated me out of money and when I prove it to them they stopped reply to me.

Also anything around what I described for £50 anual would be fab

thanks guys
 
TSOHost or Vidahost, can't go wrong with either. The majority of users on this forum use one of those.
 
With those requirements Tsohost Pro (10GB storage, 150GB pm transfer) or Register1 VDS Std (4GB storage, 200GB transfer). Both £50pm (+VAT). Personally I'm with Vidahost, but my requirements for domains, storage and bandwidth are a bit different :)
 
Have register1.net myself, hosting has been great and the repsonse time is next to nothing, even in the middle of the night.

But I mainly use them for domain names as the are the cheapest .com domains I've seen, almost half the price of reg123 and 30p lower than godaddy :D
 
I don't like the whole idea of mail boxes. The free host uses cpanel and has email forwarders, does the linux servers on tso host use them also or just the described mail boxes?

Out of those two host I think the pro account is better from tso but all I need is one domain (already bought) no subs, no database sand only 2 forwarders.

with the excessive amounts I'm getting it seems overkill on the price. I only need a good bandwidth limit and average webspace :(
 
You have all sorts of e-mail features available in cpanel with TSO Host, including E-mail forwarders ;) Its pretty much standard these days for a good web host.

well my last host used plesk and were absolute muppets so yeah, I can believe good hosts would have better services.

I like my free host but it's dollar based and will annoy me to pay for it.
 
Were using Plesk at work for our customers so I have experience on both, I do find TSOHosts CPanel better :)

I dont usually mind paying, I pay on a monthly basis, works out something like £2.50 a month, the way I think of it thats like paying for 1-pint down the local per month. Thats not bad concidering the service you are getting :)

Thats for:
Standard Hosting Package with TSO Host (Linux server)
2.5GB Disk Space
20GB Monthly Bandwidth
25 E-mail accounts
20Subdomains
3 Parked Domains
3 Addon Domains
25 FTP Accounts
5 SQL Databases
Good CPanel set-up

Plus priceless support and very good reliability. Its a small price to pay if you think about it
 
I'm actually thinking about godaddy economy plan:

10 GB Space | 300 GB Transfer
100 Email Accounts
10 MySQL Databases

which equals £2.87 month. In all honesty I've got the pages set up and all I really need is to upload them to the ftp and that's it. I don't need any actual databases and stuff.

what do you think about that? (current website size is 485mb)

Sorry to be brutal but they dont seem to have the best reviews.

If it were me, id choose reliability, good UK servers in a well established Datacenter and staff who would seemingly bend over backwards just to keep you happy rather than the actual space and bandwidth and all the other fluffy features that poor companies try to win you over with, because lets face it, are you really going to need 10GB Space? are you really going to come even close to using 300GB of data transfer per month?
 
I can understand the whole reliability side but because our website is already nearlly 500mb I'm looking at it as if someone looks at every image then for 300gb that 60 users a month. Obviously I would expend every visitor to view everything.

It's just getting to that stage now where I'm thinking it's just the length of time for the company to set the site up and me to upload it before it's up.
 
At the end of the day no one can force you on who to go with, but im pretty sure this thread speaks for itself :)
