Shared Web Hosting (advice please -centric).

TheWza [Edit] [Delete] 10:11, 8 February '11

To host the following no-traffic sites: A couple or three vanity URLs (little more than holding pages + email redirecting). One or two community sites with a CMS of some sort. One not-shop site that might become a shop. Maybe some other insignificant domains.

Some of these sites already exist (on old skool 'free' dial-up webspace, or on a friend's hosting). Some don't exist yet. My ideal would probably be to host them all under one account (unless there's a reason not to, it just seems like it'd be the cheapest way, all told).

Fasthosts, 1&1 and 123-Reg seem to be major players, but don't quite hit the spot (there seems to be too many add-ons and exceptions for someone hosting a few domains).

I was looking more closely at Zen, Heart Internet & eUKhost, but they don't quite seem ideally suited/priced for hosting a few pissy little sites under one account.

Last night I came across UK2, and they seem to be offering what I want. £2.95pm, which will host up to 10 separate sites, gives you a free domain, and a database. So not much missing, but their £5.95pm option is still quite cheap and fills in a lot of gaps if I wanted to step up a notch. Their domain registration prices seem reasonable, too.

http://www.krystal.co.uk/web-hosting/ are an endearingly kooky looking outside bet, too, I guess.

Your thoughts/suggestions/advice/etc?

Ta.
