Hi guys,

I'm posting this message on several boards so I can get a nice amount of votes on it. I intend on making a site, which has completely random things on it - no idea about space needed, or bandwidth needed, or what I'll need, as I'll just be making it up as I go along.

I'd like to know, which out of these 2 webhosts would you say is better?
http://www.ipowerweb.com/products/webhosting/index.html or http://www.streamlinenet.co.uk/uu.php ?

If I use streamlinenet , I will be buying a .com domain with it, but the totals of both hosts work out at around �50/year.
Appreciate any opinions at all. Please don't ask what I'll need, as I have no idea. Have you had any experience with either of these hosts?

I like Streamlinenet as it has mySQL Databases (5) , Unlimited Space, and mainly, Unlimited Traffic. I have also used the before, and the support I got was great. The thing is, you can have only 1 FTP account, and Virtual Directory Listings are not possible.
I like iPowerWeb because of the FTP Manager, allowing more than 1 account to be set up, but I have never personally used them.

Would appreciate your expertise on them!
Thanks all.

I would probably lean towards Streamlinenet as the other company is American and that might make contacting them for support a bit a problem (with the time difference).

 


I use uksecurewebhosting.net which suits me fine. It's about �50 for a basic web hosting package, but you get a fair bit with it.

Whichever you choose, i'd just like to point out that you will deffinately NOT get unlimited space and bandwidth, it'll be subject to a fair use policy. =)
Personally I'd go for a basic Pipex acount, they are the big boys and they're very good and reliable
I am currently hosting my website through streamline, I say go for it, it's a decent co. :)
I also use streamline, and it is unlimited to an extent - if they can't support your site, they refund your full year's subscription. Not a 'fair use' policy as such, but fairly relevant.

I have a reseller Streamline account with multiple domains.
