Hosting

Can I ask who people have their web and/or email hosting with?

I'm starting to get a bit fed up with my current provider as they don't seem very competitive on price any more and their repeated email outages are starting to annoy me.

I think Vidahost is the one most people use, run by our very own Beansprout

That's the one I'm with

Can't fault it, always very fast whenever I've had to submit support tickets.

I use TSOHost, pretty good for me

Either will do you well. I have a personal preference for Vidahost because I have more involvement with them, but in the end, while the hosting companies themselves are owned by different people, they're both hosted on servers located in London and owned by the same company. I have a server hosted there too so can attest to their reliability.

What's the uptime like with Vidahost, specifically on the email side?

Also, I notice one domain is included but how much are additional ones as I have three I need to host. Can't seem to see the additional pricing for this anywhere on the site.

I assume you already own the domains. If so, you want add-on domains, which are included as shown. I can't give you uptime beyond what's on their site - though I believe the stats are probably available if you ask.

Yeah I own them so the registration fees are paid up for the time being, just a question of how much extra Vidahost charge for hosting of the additional two on my account after the one they throw in as standard.

You say "included as shown", what do you mean exactly? Only price I can see is a "transfer cost" on the domains page but it's not clear what this is - a one off fee to transfer the domains over or an annual fee for hosting of said domains.

Ta for your help
