That sounds very expensive compared with 1&1 for 10 sites. I think its
about £15 a month for a decent size business hosting plus £1.99 per
domain for two years.

I would say dedicated server for a 10 sites that didn't started yet is an
overkill. Before there will enough traffic months if not years will
probably pass - and some standard plan should be enough for that period.

Hi,

I am quite new to web design and so on, and need some advice on hosting,
particularly which provider to choose.

1) Which one do you recommend, personally use? I have been thinkin abou 1&1
as they've won so many awards..

2) As I am going to have up to ten websites, what kind of package allows to
host more than one? If it says '5.co.uk domains', does it mean 5 aliases or
5 completely separate websites?

3) On 1&1 there are 'hosting' and 'ms hosting'. What is the difference? I
can't tell from comparison as they both seem to look the same.

Any advice will be appreciated, as basically I'd like to avoid choosing
wrong.

Cheers,

Paul

I've used a fair few hosts in my times and had a fair few reseller
accounts with various comnpanies... BY FAR the best and the one I'm
sticking with is RS-Hosting. (www.rshosting.com)... The support these
guys provide is unbelievable, every support ticket I've ever posted,
whatever time of day or night has been replied to (with a solution)
immediately, repsonse time has never been more than a couple of minutes!!

I'd recommend getting a reseller account with them, their basic package
will allow you to host up to 40 accounts for £15 a month.

I'm not working in conjunction with them and don't get any commission
via a referral program or anything, they just amaze me!!.

Hi Paul

I've personally used about 15 different webhosts and I can say for
certain that the best two in the UK that I've used are Netcetera and
Fasthosts. If you're going to have 10 websites then purchase a dedicated
server from one of these, that way you'll only pay £49 per month for a
Linux (Fedora) server or £59 for a windows based server and you can put
as many sites on your server as you want (allowing for bandwidth etc)
You can also install whatever you like on it as far as stats packages and
MySQL etc.


That sounds very expensive compared with 1&1 for 10 sites. I think its
about £15 a month for a decent size business hosting plus £1.99 per domain
for two years.

I haven't had any major problems with them

It is 15.99 + VAT for 5 co.uk domains and 22.99 for 10.
Does this mean I can operate 5 or 10 completely different websites using
those plans?

What's the difference beetween hosting they offer: HOSTING one and MS
HOSTING? Which one is better?

Yes. You need to come up with 10 new domain names (but they must end in

..co.uk for this package) and each will have its own web site. The total web
storage space is 10GB and the total traffic allowed per month of 80GB. The
hosting package also includes free domain name registration (it says that at
the top), which would otherwise be £2 per domain name.

What's the difference between hosting they offer: HOSTING one and MS
HOSTING? Which one is better?
HOSTING refers to the use of Linux servers. MS HOSTING refers to Microsoft

servers. See http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/Hosting for more
information. There is a link on the left side about half way down the page
discussing the difference.

Best regards, Eric.
