hi all,
I've finally decided to buy my very first website (the current one I share with my dad) But I need some help picking out a good web host, as I've heard it's better to go by what people say then what the company says I had my eye on eUKhost before, but I've heard a few (sorry, alot) of negative reviews Could you guys suggest a few good UK based web hosts, with a decent: service, support, pricing and repuatation, just a company you feel happy with really Like I say this is going to be the first website that I don't share with anyone else, so sorry if I missed anything out Any and all help at all would be appreciated, thank you ![]() |

First of all DO NOT GO WITH EUKHOST they are the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with, and you can find a lot more info at forums like www.forum2.co.uk and I'm sure if you do a Google for them it will bring up a lot more.
I have a reseller package with www.hostroute.co.uk I must say they have the best customer support and response time I have found from any host, and they arn't expensive ![]() Also if your not bothered about having the servers hosted in the US try hostroute.com (same company) with the exchange rate it's almost half the price. |

Thanks very much for the replys guys,
Believe it or not but forum2.co.uk was the place I heard such bad things about eukhost in this thread, after page 2, it gets pretty worrying) And thanks for the tip about hosting with a US based webhost, to be honest the only reason I didn't go into it is because I have no idea about exchanging the currency to dollar, I'm kind of embaressed to ask but how would I go about that? Please bear with me guys, you've helped me out no end so far :nervous: |

You can get a solo card from your bank and set up a paypal account to pay the fees normally

My site's hosted state-side even though it's aimed at an audience of a European country - nobody seems to mind.

Hi
I was with EUKHost for 10 months but never again. I've moved to http://www.webfusion.com/ and the service is 100% better! Joy ![]() |

Credit Cards can be used in any country... all that happens is they translate the charge (eg USD$) into your base currency before putting it on yourt statement. They may also charge a small fee for conversion (about £1).
