Web hosting?

what one best for beginner?

dreamhost are ok for beginner stuff

i was trying to figure this out and ended up on wordpress, if your bloging they are ok check it best blog ever

Dreamhost - We host the Brick Lane Bikes site on their.... It's sometimes slow, but overall very stable and reasonable. Also, if you buy your domain from 123-reg.co.uk (good) or prime hosting (good), you can get pretty decent deals with their own hosting for simple beginner stuff.

DH gave a free domain name when i used them, so guess they still do. i've found them fine. i use gandi.net for dns registration in teh main, tho...

another happy dreamhost user here.

i use one.com, no downtime yet after 3 years, and always decent speeds. Might not be the best for a site with heavy traffic and a lot of php/sql etc on it, but for a simple site it´s great, and cheap

i would recommend my company but seeing as we had a massive datacentre failure yesterday maybe I wont ;-)

Hi, you should check out 4uhosting.co.uk, really fast and you get a free domain as well I think all for around £30 a year...

Clefty, what company is this?

I have used 34sp to host quite a bit off stuff. They are a small company with very reliable support based in manchester.

cant tell you now the walls could have ears! ;-)

Is it a small scale company, that does bespoke hosting for small businesses???? If so whisper me, if not, then no bother.

oh and never ever use webfusion. or 1and1. i've never seen worse than these 2.

i have... it was a dark day that aidan entered my life :)

bluehost.com - cheaper domain registration than most UK companies seem to offer and hosting is generally cheaper too.

Second what chriscrash says tho - wordpress is awesome and you don't need to know much to get a slick looking site up - i've used both for a few years with no probss.

Avoid Fasthosts at all costs - right muppets

+1 for 34sp, very good customer support.
No probs whatsoever.

I use 4uhosting.co.uk and godaddy.com for pretty much all my clients sites.
