Do you know what sort of hosting you want: shared, vps, dedicated? Also, how much space and bandwidth you will need?

 

[jw8725]

cheapest possible, £1 a month or so?

 

[Jenni384]

I don't know if you can get £1 a month.

I highly recommend Unlimited Web Hosting who not only offer a very low price (~£3 a month) but have truly excellent customer service.

 

[AmberSite]

And does it has to be Uk one?

Hello,

If you are looking for cheap UK Web Hosting plans with reliable service you can check http://www.webhost.uk.net/shared_hosting.html our minimum plan start at 14.99GBP per year its nearly 1.2 GBP per month..we do have many clients from UKBF forum already hosted with us.

Try byethost.com and use standard hosting, it will cost about USD 30 a year and comes with a free domain.

You can get hosting as cheap as USD 1.99 if you sign up for three years.

Watch out for cheap as chips hosting. You get what you pay. I am moving my website on Monday to 3x more expensive hosting, because I`m simply not getting emails to my company email. **** cheap hosting, it isn`t worth saving few £. And definitely servers must be in UK, with UK support. Go for big, famous companies.

This is $3.95 per month if you sign up for 36 months, giving you unlimited space and bandwidth.

You also get a free $75 gooogle adword voucher and a free domain.

Also, you can host your existing domains on this for free.

As a generalisation, this stands, but I wouldn't necessarily agree with going for a big brand. I have 2 sites hosted with 2 different hosts, Equiphase and UWH. Neither are big or famous and both are UK based, excellently priced and amazing customer service.

 

[QuickHomeBuyers]

$2.95 a month if you sign up for 24 months, free domain for life.

unlimited gbs, etc.

$250 marketing credits.

www.justhost.com

seems cheapest so far

This seems good for a UK based host.

£2.08 a month with same cr4p.

 

[Andy Walpole]

This is the UK-based company that I recommend clients to use: http://www.4uhosting.co.uk/

As RobCCTV said you get what you pay for. Simple fact is, you'll pay for going cheap on cost with poor reliability or service.

£1 a month..heh heh.
Well for my 3p a day I want no limits on bandwidth, unlimited storage with free backups no matter what size, oh make that with at least 2 sets of redundant backups, no server recourse usage limits, 100% uptime, a free domain, 24/7 live helpdesk via phone, IM and email, a personal helpline assistant who knows when my Mum's birthday is and reminds me 5 days before, oh and some of those flowjobs I hear about....
£3 a month is cheap and gets you reasonably good hosting, (sometimes very good hosting); you really can't stretch to that for a business?

 

[Kaplang]

I recommend heart internet, I have always found them to be good

 

[Big Pete]

Remember !!!!!!!!!

You want Good Hosting Cheap NOT Cheap Hosting..

The cheap hostings will be jammed to capacity and you will have nothing but hassles .

Server uptime is of importance and this is only assured when servers are NOT running flat out with a million websites..

pay a little extra and get sensible quality hosting , the couple of quid extra is money well spent ..

 

[Matt1959]

I pay about £36pa for basic hosting and I reckon thats half price for what I get if not third of the price. How cheap do people want to go?? Its almost as if some people expect things for free and if they pay anything, they're indignant. If you've got a website that you depend on for your livelyhood, its surely worth paying whats required to get a good service? If its a hobby site, I guess thats a different matter.......

 

[Synergy Accountancy]

One of the best in terms of support I have found is a company called 1 and 1

DO NOT USE 1&1 - I use them for buying domain names, but they will be a nightmare to deal with if you need to contact them because they just don't listen and pass you between pillar and post. Not good if you have a critcal issue with your website.

If I may be as bold as to engage in a spot of self-publicity but I wrote an article about business web hosting last December:

Choosing the right web hosting provider for your business

There should be some interesting info in the article for business owners who are unsure of what server package they need.

 

[Jeff FV]

I have used (and still do) Hosted Web without problems and I've had prompt, helpful email support from them when I've needed to ask one or two (probably very dumb!) questions.

I think they're on the forum.

As A hosting provider myself always make sure and read terms and conditions especially things like cpu usage and bandwidth nothing is free the domain will have to be purchased if you close account ive seen complaints about other company charging upto £40 to transfer it.

 

[wordperfect]

Try dreamsight.co.uk up in Gloucester, ask for Paul.
I have been with them for close on 6 years, ne'er had any problems.
[I am in Beijing so I need servers "over the Great Firewall of China]
US$59 per year for a basic set up, he has back up in Texas as well.

I recommended to this thewebpole.com/twp/domain-web-hosting .Here i found the web hosting service at reasonable price. And also provides the more features with each plans.I hosted my site here.

 

[FM1000]

If you want cheap (about £10) try one.com. But its no good for magento, esyndicat or any demanding cms.

If you want reasonably priced hosting with great script support choose siteground.

If you want to be ripped off go with 1and1.

 

[davisonconsultancy]

Have a look at Pace Retail, they have a rolling month contract so no tie-in. Also, they give you lots of facilities even with the basic package, as well as allowing you to upgrade your hosting as your business grows.

I use Heart Internet - Customer Service is 1st rate. Price is good. Down time minimal. You won't be disappointed..

 

[jason87]

You can try Hostgator.They are always offering discounts and incentives for their hosting plans,especially for new clients. I have a small blog on shared hosting and have no problems with their customer support and uptime of my site.
PS: I found this code april1monthoff for first month free.

I couldn't agree more with RBS! Cheap means crap service most of the times.

The questions that you need to answer are...

1. can you affort to have your website down for a few hours or days without impact to your business? It has happened to me in the recent past (site was down for 7-8 days)

2. Will you be able to handle situations where there is no response to your emails or the customer service will be crap or none at all?

True, but not all cheap hosting companies are bad. The price simply reflects the features and the competitive nature of the market. Better advice would be to listen to someone who has first hand experience.

 

[mybreaktrip]

Sure blueblade that's why I said most of the times. I bet there would be a few decent companies out there.

 

[stoo]

Im sure you have heard of Heart Internet based in the UK, and an excellent hosting company I am sure you will all agree.

They are not the cheapest, but they are brilliant.

I have the resellers account package, mainly to host all my websites, and a hybrid VPS Server, which to be honest i am not utilising yet

If anybody wants to try FREE hosting UNLIMITED package for a few months, Cpanel hosting etc.. usual stuff then pm me.. i have had my account over 3 years, and i need it for all my websites, so it's long term.

Vidahost! Been with them a while and have had no problems! Deffo worth a look into!
