    Default Recommend a web host

    I currently use 1 and 1 for my web hosting however their data base hosting is not cheap £8 a month for 2 databases.
    Currently on their business package but the 2 databases are been used.

    What i'm after is a cheap hosting provider with php and 1 database, along with a decent amount of traffic included.

    Anyone got any suggestions.

    Thanks

    Cheers for the heads up Pegasus, will be moving my hosting to them ASAP.
    How does the multiple domains thing work, can I have two separate domain names running off one account or will it show as a one main domain and a sub domain? Sorry to hijack the thread but didn't want to sign up for two separate accounts only to find I can run both my url's off the same account.

    When using multiple domains on an account, you basically just point each domain to a separate folder in your 'space'

    You can have as many domain names as you like running from the one account mate, where you point them is entirely up to you.

    You also get 'real' e-mail accounts (POP3 & SMTP), none of that masquerading bollocks that relies on you already having an existing e-mail account elsewhere.

    If I have domains with one host can they be directed to the space at Krystal or can I get them moved over?
    How do I do this.

    Thanks

    If they are registered with that host you will need to change the IPSTAG (?) to your new ISP so it will transfer over. Watch out for transfer fees though!

    You can do either mate, although as Ka$h says, watch out for any transfer fees from your current host (Krystal will not charge for transfers).

    As far as pointing your domains at Krystal, you should be able to do that from your control panel that your current host provides.
