Email & Web Hosting

[expat]

I use 1and1.co.uk

Reasonably priced and the helpdesk is actually helpful.

I had problems with 1&1: they lost my emails due to server maintenance, and were totally unapologetic about it, pointing out that the T&Cs said that I had to read email at least once a month: they claimed that "read" meant download and remove from server, so the fact that I hadn't done that meant that I had no right to complain if mails disappeared.

Then they didn't renew my domain (= my surname.com) before the expiry date: although they said it was quite safe since it was within the grace period, it wasn't a way that I wanted to work: a colleague had the same problem with 1and1.co.uk at the same time, so we both left them for good.

YMMV.

NF will sing Easily's praises. I concur.

I've used Easily since 2003, web and email. Never had any problems that I can remember, and on the odd occasion I've contacted tech support by email (with techy enquiries, not problems) I've had a response within minutes, even on a Sunday afternoon.

NOOOOOO!!!

DO NOT USE 1-2-3

Do not use any part of the Pipex group.

They are all tulipe.

1-2-3 even has a hate web site dedicated to them.

WHS with a big +

used them before service was awful.

Currently use UK2 with no problems whatsoever although not cheap, but I rather pay out and have a reliable and easily accessible service.

www.site-street.net not the cheapest but great service
