Which web host
Discussion
I have incorporated a company and need to register a domain name and get web hosting sorted out. The website will not involve any e-commerce - it will just be for information about the company and business.
Any recommendations for reliable and cost effective web hosting companies? I was thinking about something simple like GoDaddy?
Any pointers would be appreciated

Avoid GoDaddy and 123-Reg if you can.
For domain registration https://www.domainmonster.com/
For hosting, it depends on what and where you are going to be hosting?

Thanks for the replies.
The business is graphic design/art direction - so will be showcasing client work and credentials. May also contain a blog at some point as well.
Hopefully will be a relatively simple website

I'd use AWS S3. Flexibility to add bellls and whistles later if you want.

Don't listen to this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/s...
here is the blurb "You can use the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator to estimate what it would cost to host your static website on AWS "
Note the words "simple" and "static" (no PHP then!)
here is the form:
and if you click Free website it comes up with some bizarre message

Yeah because nobody uses AWS right? It's the only suggestion so far that's enterprise scale and it's simple to set up if you know what you're doing. here is the blurb "You can use the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator to estimate what it would cost to host your static website on AWS "

S3 is the simplest implementation but you can use compute and database services too. There's also an email service.
Appreciate this maybe a bit complicated for some.

For me it's SGIS, always been reliable, easy to use and well priced. Between myself and business partner we have 4 business sites running with them as well as a couple of non-business, fun projects.

Hostgator; I have over ten sites hosted with them... not as faceless as Godaddy with genuine support when needed:

Previously I would have advised TSOHost for hosting, but it seems like GoDaddy are buying their parent company.
If it is for creative/design stuff, can you use Adobe Portfolio? It is includded in their CC plan if you are using that.

Bugger. Their support lines are very good, hopefully that doesn't change!Although I only used them as a registrar for all my domains and host via SquareSpace.
