you have good experiences with Zoneedit.com? I looked at this recently, but
have to admit the website make me look elsewhere.

I’ve
been using Tagadab for VPS and am happy with them, especially as they are
cheaper than AWS at £10 per month. But they don’t have the nifty restore
feature that VPS.net offers – I may even switch to VPS (only learned about them
readig this thread, thanks as always).

And if you want shared webhosting, good ol’ href="http://www.webfaction.com/services/hosting?affiliate=uguser">http://www.webfaction.com
is hard to beat. Webfaction will even support Zope/Plone, and includes free
https (like all free https, your users need to explicitly accept the
certificate). Their control panel is great for having multiple subdomains, and
their DNS over-ride feature allows you to have subdomains off site or setup
CNAME and MX Records for google apps (FYI – if anyone is thinking about google
apps, shoot me an email – I’ve set that up for about a dozen clients so far).

Some other Hosting Providers don’t give access to DNS or suggest that users
email them with requests for DNS changes – forcing me to use alternate DNS
services like the free zoneedit.com, with
it’s exciting 1998-esque interface.

Hi
Manish,

Your email is contradictory. If you have a shared server you will not be doing
any installation, config or admin as it is all taken care of for you. Maybe you
are referring to ‘virtual hosts’ where you essentially hire a VM machine
portion of a server, in which case you get full root access to do everything
with. The problem with shared virtual hosting is usually limited CPU and
limited bandwidth.

Just scan for ‘virtual shared hosting’ or ‘virtual private servers’ for this.

uk2.net do dedicated servers for
£50 per month, with very excellent bandwidth

All web hosts are crap at one point, usually when they have a server outage and
this can cost you a whole day or two. If that is a problem for you, I would
also recommend outsourcing your DNS (someone like ultradns) for about £20 a
year and hiring a second server, from a separate provider. Your DNS settings
can be changed to 10 mins time-to-live and if you have a problem with server#1,
change the dns to point to server#2 (and of course copy all your web files from
your regular backups to server2) and you will be up and running again in 15
mins.

hope this helps.
regards,
Antony Penn

Hi
there,

 

I’m
looking for a fast, cheap, no-frills, UK-based shared hosting company to host a
PHP / MySQL application.

 

We’re
hands-on and can do most of the installation/configuration/administration
ourselves. We just need a quick, shared, server because we don’t think we can
afford dedicated hosting at the moment.

 

Thanks
in advance for any recommendations.
