RE: web hosting / design recommendations

["Tony Butler" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on the domain.

IME, maddogdomains.com for .coms and associated "stateside"
domains,
123-reg.co.uk for uk addresses.

Check out http://www.freeranger.co.uk/ukha
for some hosting offers - can
guarantee you cheap, but the "best"?
To an extent you get what you pay for - which is not to say cheap=shoddy,
just that I would not host say, ibm.com, with one of these two - and *I'm*
one of them.
Most hosters do have diskspace and bandwidth limitations, though a few
offer
"unlimited".
Think about that for a minute though - since it all has to be paid for
somewhere along the line, how can you offer unlimited bandwidth?  Usually,
this is relying on overselling where you have say 10Gb available but have
actually "sold" 50Gb on the assumption that most clients will
only use a
fraction of their bandwidth, so the total used is still below 10Gb.
Of course, if someone steps in there with heavy usage, then you are all
screwed....

Ido needs to upgrade his hosting package to stop getting bandwidth exceeded
messages.

Finally, for a one or two page site, you could try using frontpage or word
templates, or go to somewhere like templatemonster.com for a bog standard
template.

Hth,

Tony
