Hosting... - Page 4

Sounds a good deal

I was going to recommend the OU too, I've signed up to a course starting in February and hoping to continue to do it as a certificate. I find proper courses motivate me more than doing it myself, guess I just love having pieces of paper saying I've done stuff

Well I'm doing Psychology OU so it would count towards my degree if I did a side one as I need to get another... 60points from somewhere I think... or maybe 30... after I've completed all the Psychology sections!

Looked on the OU webby and it would seem that the next webby design course starts in May! Boo! Missed out on the September one (which I should have realised as that's when my other one was due to start) but didn't think the course would start as late as May!

Doh! Will pm Holly methinks and ask her what she reckons of it!

Lozza - about learning online... I like it but I would like something a bit more structured and then venture onto advancing my skills with online tutorials. I'm a complete noob and getting started and finding out where to start would be confusing to me

Back again! Anyone know any good deals for hosting a webby? Not needing a too big a job... Probably something like 100 - 250mb!

Seen these on 123-reg... wondering whether people could advise me whether they're any good?

123-reg hosting stuff!

Taaaa!

I can highly recommend www.blacknight.ie. Irish company but my mate works for them. They currently host a few sites of mine and a friend of mines without issue. They also take on huge contracts so they're not small time.

I've recommended them before and I'll recommend them again (though I really should get commission

)

http://www.vidahost.com/shared_hosting.php

The owner is a member here and even went to a meet once.

Having said that, 123-reg's domain services have served me well for several years now. I know nothing about their hosting though.

I've used Registron in the past www.registron.co.uk

Owned by a guy on OcUK

They're very good

Registron. That'd be Adz. Also a past meet attendee and a good guy who I deal with regularly. It's fair to say that bigger customers are his primary concern these days though he looks after me very well. Looking at the packages available I would, however, suggest that others are better placed to do this job.

For SEO we use a keyword assistant website, but I clicked on it today and it doesn't appear to be working :/

Here is another that has been suggested: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

Basically Pheebles, you enter into the search the types of things you think people would search for on google to get your page come up and it shows you relevant keywords other that what you input.

You can write the keywords into the text and code of your website so that the Google spiders pick it up and push it to the top of the list when people search for you

If you see here: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...or+design&meta=

I have searched for 'jobs in interior design' and because our SEO (search engine optimised) pages are so leet we are top of the list

Just thought I would (try) to add some knowledge to the thread!

(I think I'm right?... right?!)
