Uk Host

[3dfx]

Right I'm looking for a host which is preferably in the Uk to host my website and forum on I've also considered an ftp, any suggestions ? it has to support ASP

thx

[Paddy]

I dont know of anything cheap... what sort of price range were you looking at???

What sort of access do you need?

[3dfx]

We were hoping for something around £10 a month as it is for a clan website. An ftp isn't completely necessary tbh.

thx

[Paddy]

Do you need much space?
What sort of internet access do you currently have?

The cheapest ones are in the USA, as far as I know. It makes no difference where they are, all other things being equal and many of the UK ones are not equal, but very slow. I've used http://www.pair.com/ for many years as they give excellent, reliable, value for money and are very responsive to problems AND they have multiple fast connections tot he Internet backbone.

I can't help you find providers, but you could get 100 MB webspace, 10GB transfer/month, ASP, POP eMail, FTP etc. for 4 EUR/Month or little more here. Dunno how prices are in the UK.

One & One are pretty good, their business package is only £8.99 per month and includes PHP and MySQL support.

More details here

I get a 404 there, Taz

Actually, 1 und 1 (the german head company) are the biggest hosts here (or in europe?), and they have very good prices and features and speed/availability. I just have one problem with them: I rented a web shop for testing purposes and they can't seem to figure out that I ended the contract *grrr

Gotta phone them on monday.

I've amended the link, you should be able to see the page now

Works now

The product for 3dfx there would be the MS Home Package, 5.99 GBP.

Uhm, that doesn't come with any DB support which is required by most forums

[az]

He said they needed ASP, so I assumed that was all they needed

Thx for the help guys, ASP was essential but we also want to host a forum. So would I need DB support too ?? for the forum

[Sasq]

Depends on how big the forum... some of the smaller ones will save to a flat file... any particular reason you need ASP?

[3dfx]

The website is in ASP, I didn't make it I helped a friend .hehe but he needs a proper host. As we are currently using a free American host ..lol and as you can imagine it takes ages to loade (and that's when it does) www.mxpro.cjb.net
