    Default Web Hosting Question

    I have had a look at the sticky on this forum but I would rather have advice from anyone who has a good hosting client, I bought two domain names the other day and I am looking for a reasonable hosting package. Something where I can have as many emails as I want and plenty of space. I would also like to be able to run my own forums possibly mysql and whatnot.

    Cheers people

    I have used LDHosts for well over a year now since Teajunkie recommended them to me. Had no problems and for the price you can't go wrong. Check your needs. I paid the extra couple of quid for the Unlimited (£5.99/month) package which has built in Wordpress support. I have one domain included on the package. For other sites I have running on there I use a sub domain which is linked to from a domain name parking service such as UKReg (fasthosts). As well as your email service with LDHosts the domain parking service should also include a free email service for the parked and linked domains. (">

    Edit: LDHosts also offer a domain parking service with free web forwarding and unlimited email forwarding if you prefer to stick with one supplier. From what I can see all the hosting packages now come with the Wordpress CGI scripts included and prices start at £0.99/month.

    Also UK based and excellent customer support.

    Had a few sites with these guys and never had a problem, technical support is top notch i.m.o.

    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    Open domain settings and look for nameservers / MX records

    I'm not sure if you already have hosting, but I like veerotech.net. They are the best I have used recently.
