Hiya

I want to set up my first website with html and am looking for somewhere to host it.

I've heard nothing but good things about Titan but their £50 a year cheapest option is a bit too steep for me. £30 is my max a year really.

Can anyone recommend any other good hosts for £30 or less a year? I know that you can get free domains etc but the pop ups annoy me greatly!

Cheers all!

how about £20/year for domain name, webspace, emails and other goodies? wonder down to hostplus.

Try their "Free" General Package. A Friend uses them to host THIS Message board ... as you can see, No Pop ups and quite a high bandwidth limit. don't see that you would have any problems

I'm actually looking at that one at the moment Suba! I saw you mention it on another post. I'm looking at the value package for £30 here. The .co.uk name I want is available too. Could oen of you lovely lot possibly explain what the things I get with the package are?? I'm afraid I'm still learning about webhosting and a lot of it is flying straight over my head. One thing confuses me: Why 100 email addresses? Sounds a bit greedy to me.

Avi, will have a look at them too thanks!

 

Don't uppose anyone would like to donate £20 so I can use Titan? Nah I thought not.

 

katie,

I use www.oneandone.co.uk I think their cheapest is about £1.50 a month, I host alot of sites with them and they offer alot of features.

100 emails address...

you can setup 100 email address on your domain name. so for example, if your domain name is qwertyu.co.uk, you can setup emails like your.name@qwertyu.co.uk, etc.

 

Titan - £1 a week, worth it for the service, hassle free FTP and quality hosting. These cheap places are a nightmare.

 

I know that but I'm trying to think of where I can come up with £50. *Thinks* Fundraising?

 

me happy with hostplus i got no connection with them except i got a domain name register and hosting package with them (the £20/year package). i get speedy response from their technical support when i need them. so far so good.

 

Spoke to HostPlus. They seem to be saying that I will have to pay £60 upfront to have the hosting for 2 years due to a .co.uk address. But but but...!

 

Christ and I thought I was skint - whats happening garnet

 

Long story.......

Gist of it is, I got ill, lost job etc. Still ill and on incoem support (and incapacity benefit hopefully, I'm having to fight for that a second time). Not a great situation to be in. For fun stuff like own web page I have to use what's left of my savings and there isn't much.

That answer your question?

 

Sorry to hear that Garnet - wasn't having a go, just curious.

I will do my best to offer you help in your website quest

 

Ta.

Mate just suggested this place.... 34SP, what do you think?

 

Out of interest, if you're that skint that you can't afford £20/year for titan, should you perhaps consider leaving the webhosting until you have a bit more cash coming in?

 

or settle for free webspace with banner!

 

Or use the free webspace from your ISP, and point your domain at it.

 

titan isnt £20 a year unless im lookign at the wrong site,it said £50.

 

Assuming it's going to be extremely low bandwitdth, why not email Lee and ask if he'll do you a deal?

 

MarkO - You have mail. Lee actually offered me a deal!

 

He's a good lad.

 

Oh, Garnet, YHM.

 

Ebay some stuff!

Seriously, I am semi redundant at the moment and have been covering my backside by ebaying a few useless items!
