Small business website and email hosting - any recommended?

[Benny Saltstein]

I look after the website for my father in law's precision engineering business. The website isn't transactional, just a basic shop window if you like with contact info, product info, brochures etc.

As of Thursday the site and email both went down and not being totally satisfied with the level of service, I've decided to move the hosting.

I won't name the provided in accordance with naming and shaming but would love to hear if any of you have good feedback on your current suppliers. The site itself is pretty basic by today's standards and we only have 10 active email addresses so we're not really looking for handling of perl databases or anything flash like that.

Web hosting - Vidahost (I love cPanel)

and for emails use google apps.

Gmail quite frankly is the best email client both web based and for everything else, and it can be free.

Thanks for the tips - looks like I'll be giving register1 a try. Will send a PM if I have any queries.

As always, PH delivers.

Benny - you can't go wrong with Jamie

There's over 100 PHers 9and rising) who are with him; and the service that he and hsi team provide is 1st class

I can't recommend highly enough.

Its ordered - along with the .co.uk domain too for good measure. Now to figure out how the transfer works.

Eugh.. I hate it when domain places deliberately use their own email addresses as the admin contact email.. this makes transfers a pita.

Drop my support guys a ticket if you have any queries, but for now, you'll want to contact your current place and request/demand the give you your Transfer EPP Auth Code (they will know what this means) and also that they change the admin email contact to your email..

Anything else, just raise a ticket in your control panel
