Web hosting : the search

[GoNz0]

1&1 are sooo good at this moment in time my website doesnt exist..

and i wont get so much as a sorry when it comes back... if it does without the usual phone calls after the emails get ignored, or as per usual i just get patronised by some dick who doesnt know the job he is being paid to do.

/rant over


( i would have moved to streamline but 1&1 dont allow SSL to the database for me to make a backup, another very bad point to them)

hostgator, good, but can be slow to access from the UK.

I use http://www.frihost.com/ because they're .. well, free.

They give you 250mb free and some cool tools, email, mysql etc.

The only cost is that you have to participate in their forum which, as you would imagine, is chock full of people making pointless post-count posts, but it's not too difficult to find a thread that can hold your interest and they're .. well, free.

Support is usually from the forums and is, therefore, very fast.

I've just switched to streamline.net from Fasthosts. Works out cheaper and you get a bit more for your money.
