A bit too high brow I think... but perhaps my target audience will appreciate a toff writing a testimonial. You know what they say if you are a class outfit make sure you have class advertising. I just hope that the obvious poshness doesn't make them all think that only people up thier own ass would use my services....

OK, we can dumb it down a bit for you.

If you'd like to take advantage of our generous introductory rates I'm sure something could be arranged

No, really??
Ah, so you don't like criticism so you try to fend it off by shooting the messenger.
No apostrophe in a plural, by the way.
"Occured" is NOT an american spelling, it's just a mistake.
don't sound so good to me, bud.

You're absolutely right!... and i've seen the error of my ways. Sorry to hyperD and the rest of you guys! I took the criticism a bit too personal. In my lame defence, it was early, and i'm not good in the morning.

I got recommended this site from a friend as a good resource for someone who is wishing to start out in the contracting game. The last thing I want to do is step on the toes of my peers who can offer advice from their years of experience.

Please except my humblest of apologies.

Yeah, and there are quite a few unsavoury types who shamelessly plug some product or service they're involved with. You can tell who they are because they only have one or a few posts to their name and they aren't interested in contributing to other discussions.

Anyhow, I got the error message and so did HyperD at a different time so they must have had a big problem.

trust me, i'm not involved in that web hosting company. i have just had a good experience with them and wanted to offer my opinion.

[expat]

I’m really quite surprised that you clicked the link and got that error message 1st time... (not implying that you are a liar)

No, really??

but I’m beginning to understand that by entering the contracting game that there will be a few unsavoury types out there who will try many tricks to trip up their competitors and discredit them. Good lesson for all you fellow newbie’s.

As far as the spelling is concerned, the web hosting is run by yanks... what do you expect?? They spell loads of words wrong: colour/color, realise/realize, cheque/check… the list goes on…

"Occured" is NOT an american spelling, it's just a mistake.

but the one thing with the yanks that you do get; is a lot more for your money's worth… and good customer service.

don't sound so good to me, bud.

each to their own.

I've never used a web page builder before. I create my sites with dreamweaver and then upload them via ftp.

the hosting package met my needs of 2 domain names, fixed ip, lots of space, lots of bandwidth, cheap and reliable. this actually might be overkill for teabag who only wants to host 10 pages.

Personally I’ve had no problems with them and have never seen that error message before. I’m really quite surprised that you clicked the link and got that error message 1st time...

Certificate of Quality?... You must be joking. Isn’t that what food companies apply for? I bet you buy you coffee from the manufacturers with the golden made-up *bullsh!t* “certificate of quality” seal of approval. Actually I take that back, didn’t Enron have a certificate of quality? Ahhh, we can all sleep easy now.

Anyway, that's enough of that. All teabag wanted was advice on a cheap hosting service without any adverts and domain registration. Any recommendations hyperD?

Just had a play with their site. No error messages but the demo verion of their site building tool dies after the first couple of pages and trying to select an image to include kills it stone dead. Not impressed.
