Help me choose a webhost?

Dachande · 25th January 2008

Hey there.. I've spent some time on google and searching these forums but I'm still unsure of what hosting provider to use.

I'm based in the UK and I want to make a website, mainly for personal use, just for uploading bits and bobs really. I want to be able to write articles and post them up. I suppose you could call it a blog, for lack of a better term XD

Anyway, I doubt it'll get much traffic but it needs to be able to handle a bit. I also need an e-mail adress with it.

Any suggestions, please?

If you make a post in the Requests for products and services we'll all be able to tell you just how great we all are..

We cant tell you that in this section

Hi,

I would suggest you to build your web site on Wordpress or b2Evolution. Both are blogging platforms which provide excellent options to create and easy to manage personal web site.

Hi Dachande,

I'm a new member of webhostchat.

Choosing a particular web hosting provider available in the market for our website can sometimes be confusing and frustrating.

In my opinion, the best way to deal with this situation is to use:

1. Referral:
Ask your business acquaintances, friends and family which web hosting provider is used for their respective organizations or if they can otherwise recommend a web hosting provider.

2. Money Back Guarantee:
A good and reliable web hosting provider will dare to have a money back guarantee policy for their client. It'll will give more confidence knowing their web hosting provider is not some sort of "back yard" company.

3. Check with a particular web hosting provider (through their "contact us" interface) whether they are able to provide service according to your needs in terms of price, storage space, traffic volume permittable and last but not least is for them to provide a guarantee 24/7/365 support (possible in writting).

Hopefully my input can be of help to you.

Regards,

Have a look through the offers section and/or post in the requests section.

So you know, most accounts come with emails and I would think most hosts starter plans should be fine for you to start with.

I will suggest you tear2hosting.com. I am currently hosted with them and they have done well till now and the prices are also very low. Can try it out...

What do they Tear?

It seems that you are hosting provider so I think it will really hurt you if a customer gives a good review about the company... but I suggest you try to fight and be one of the best. If this will be the case I will recommend you too but currently you are not the one who can be recommended
