Hi,
I am based in Bristol, England and have just commissioned a company to redesign my horseracing website. the pages are built in asp and are mainly static pages. They will however be updatable.
There is also a content management system and flash pages.
there are four main domain names (.co.uk) and we would like about 50 pointers.
the webspace will not exceed 1,500 MB webspace or 10GB/month bandwidth
We need about 10 email addresses pointing to at leats three different accounts.
The webdesigner has recommended UKUhost or 1&1 but has left it to me to make the decision. I am completely untechnical and know nothing about the reliability of either comapny. Can anyone help?
Much appreciated.
Jo

I have just left oneandone to join powweb.com... Oneandone were ok, i just found that there tech support was rather unhelpful, any time u asked a question they sent the same response. hmmm. not really what you want.
If you don't mind going with a company outside of england Powweb.com give 1gb of space and 5gb a day of transfer. There are one-off charges for having more than one domain name pointing at your site but i believe they're not excessive.
Have a look at their site and if your interested (hehe) pm me and i'll give you my referer code
Good luck

Let me second David's recommendation. Powweb rocks - I referred david there in another forum. I have nothing but good things to say about powweb.

Well if we can make money by spreading a hosts good name, why not?
I didn't think we were allowed to post em on here so i didn't
...
But on a serious note... they are a good host. and have just implemented a new limit of 5 (five) free mysql databases and are currently beta'ing a website design tool... for those who want to use it.
Give it a whack. def better than oneandone

I recently moved my main website to Apollo after suffering through a bad transition (from Dellhost to Purehost) as a result of my previous host's being bought out. Apollo really seems like a good host--inexpensive, provides the subdomains that I need, intuitive control panel, seemingly unlimited mailing lists, etc. I have already moved one small domain to Apollo and two more will follow over the next couple of months. (Previously these were at Simplyhosting.net.)
I have the Basic plan, which suits me fine (four domains). I have another large website that I will probably move to Apollo when the Dellhost/Purehost contract is closer to expiration. This one will get its own, sub-Basic plan (one domain) because a different person maintains it. Together, the five domains will cost me less than what I was paying Dellhost/Purehost for one, and the help system works better for me.
The only downside with Apollo that I have found is that website statistics available online aren't very useful. Evidently I will have to download statistical software and massage the log files myself.
