Hosting Solution

Guys, what host do you use for your website?

I'm looking at godaddy. I've got basic website building experience so would like to just use a website builder provided by the hosting company. I would like to expand later on my skills and have a few more websites under my belt so I need something that will allow me to have a few websites under my account.

My website will initially just be information but moving to e-commerce at a later date.

I use Clook.net and can recommend them for PHP hosting. I have never had any downtime, and their support has been good in the rare case that it has been needed.

What coding languages will you be using?

I use Vidahost, I've worked with a few host over the years and they are the best by far! Great support and never experienced major downtime.

I have a few websites with lumenhosting.co.uk. They are very prompt at replying to support queries and have never had any downtime.

My first website was exactly as you mentioned, it started off as a website about my business but I have since changed it to an ecommerce site without any problem. They even have installers built in to help you install the shopping cart platforms/wordpress/etc.

There's a huge choice available - have a look at review sites like Trustpilot etc -

Strongly recommend avoiding the market big names like Go Daddy, 1+1 and 123-reg though if you want decent support

I would also avoid using a free website builder provided by a host -

Use Wordpress, Joomla or a similar CMS - it will be a lot easier to build on the site in the future and to achieve search engine rankings.

I've been with webhosting uk for years on their standard linux shared hosting then had a SSD VPS for a while but the linux admin became a chore so I'm now using a2 hosting. Thats also SSD so my sites are way quicker with them than they are with WHUK.
