Need a new webhost

[DKL]

I've had my web address registered with register 1 for the last 3 years or so but I'm having repeated problems with stuff being blocked by external email addresses and frequent other niggles so its time to change.
Were tiny by any standards. I need a max of 5 emails and a website which although I have the domain name I don't have a site yet.
Any suggestions?

A lot of PHers used R1 when Jamie owned it, it worked well, now, not so much. So, most of us moved to TSOHost. I'm very happy there and the support is fantastic.

Someone made a lot of commission mentioning them I reckon!

TSO without question.

I have around 30 sites there and at least another z20 clients using them because of my recommendation.

They're just superb.

Agreed. I've been using TSO for about 4 years (previously with R1) and they're great.

I have multiple sites on TSO Host and no problems. Support is very good and very quick.

Also using DX3 Webs for a Magento install and it's very quick and great support.

TSO here as well - great service and never had an issue.

I'd still struggle to look beyond 365 or Google Apps for the email part of this.

Web hosts aren't generally much good at email (as you are finding). If you need to send email from your website as well then use someone like http://www.mandrill.com/ (free for 12k emails/month).

I'd also recommend against transferring your domain to the hosting company. Have it with someone like http://www.gandi.net/ and use TSO (or whoever) just for the hosting. This makes it fairly easy to move your website to a new host should you start to have problems.

If any of this is confusing then feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to help.
