Web Hosting

Can anyone recommend a good hosting company for my website.

I'm looking at a very simple site but want email to be include both send and receive. Some sort of site builder would be useful but not essential.

Ones I've looked at so far are:

1 and 1
DataFlame
FastHost

Thanks

PIMP!!!

Don't offer a site builder I'm afraid but do do e-mail.

Dataflame are cheap and reliable - been using them for 2 years.
Can't speak for their site building tools.

Being playing with the demo and it looks OK (long time since I did any web work)

How do you find the email package from them. can it be used on a blackberry etc (I assume yes as it's POP3 but you never know)

Ardesco - Will have a look at you link in a bit - thanks

Yep, it's just a bog standard POP3/SMTP setup.

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'm going to go with DataFlame.

There builder produces a good looking site until I get time to brush up on my skills.

Thanks Again.

Ardesco - Would have gone with you if you had a builder Sorry

I guess that's something I need to add at some point then

It would have swung it for you.

Just needed to get a site up now, whilst I brushed up on my skills of old. Still thats not to say once I've got a site I've done ready I won't move over

I've just moved the email side of one of my sites over to Google to host for me. That way I get Gmail (which I love) for my company email.

For hosting, I use an American one - PowWeb who are good, reliable and cheap.

Or I have one on Hostgator, who I'm not as impressed with - there are some things that I want to do myself that it needs a support ticket to change for Hostgator, e.g. CNAME entries, and I think Jog On had some issues with PHP on Hostgator.
