Recommended Website Hosts?

[Jewel]

Hi all!

Could you please recommend me some good (British?) website hosts?

My brother is going to cancel our contract with 1&1, which means that my website will be homeless... The easiest thing would be to transfer it to a UK host I suppose because paying for it will be easier. Unless of course you know a free host without annoying ads etc?

What I'm looking for is good value, generally good service, space and a content manager because German 1&1 didn't provide one.

Website is in a state at the moment, but if I transfer I will hopefully remember to get everything back up again.

Thanks in advance!

Well, Belle's Domain is on www.streamlinenet.co.uk/ and I think they're great! There's been only one or two hiccups in the past couple of years, which is fair enough, they're really helpful and personal too, if you need help you feel there's a human answering the email! Their prices are pretty good too... not too painful.

Thanks for your quick reply! It's nice to get feedback from somebody who is actually using one of the providers. There's just too much information on google and it's all very confusing!

Do you use the Linux or the Windows hosting option? For some reason I thought you had to use Linux to use the Linux hosting system, but that only proves how little I know! Google has proven me wrong...

Also, if you don't mind me asking that is, which package are you using?

Thanks again!

I'm currently using their unlimited package - but they've just changed the packages so I'm wondering about possibly downgrading a bit. I need to get the stats on just how many hits my site gets - I actually have no idea!

As for platform... uhhhh... I write code in notepad and upload using a 10 year old FTP program! I do need to update my methods.

I've now decided to go with this provider, my old website has now died (boooo), so will start with a new name.

Hopefully I'll get to work on the new site a bit more.
