Having registered a couple of domain names (.co.uk and .com) for a blog I plan to start, the next stage is to subscribe to a web hosting site.
Any recommendations?
I suppose it would be better if the site was hosted in the UK, although this is not essential.
My main criterion is that page views must be fast, and the subscription not vastly expensive.
Also, it must be flexible in letting me configure Apache security within subdirectories etc, i.e. not a "managed" and limited environment.
(I'll want to run Wordpress, with a MathJax or MathML plugin.)
I know I could just Google something like "best UK web hosting", and indeed already have, but I also wanted to hear any esteemed CUK readers' recommendations and constructive suggestions (for example of slick-looking hosting companies that are actually awful and best avoided!)
