Web Gurus - Any Recommendations?

[180....b]

Just putting the call out, I need to launch a small website and i am on the hunt for some cheap webspace and a domain name. Any web gurus on here?

What are reasonable costs I can expect to pay?

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks!

lol TJ he asking for website hosting + domain not website design

Unless Charles has his own datacentre he wont be able to help much

I use Jumba Hosting

Australian Server - http://www.jumba.com.au/hosting/personal

Or if you want epic cheap you can try

http://www.justhost.com/web-hosting

Not sure on their reliability and flexibility though

FFS stop recommending justhost to people, they are the scum of hosting. Price is not everything.

haha well he didnt give much to work off.

If he is after a personal website to host a couple of documents and pictures or a small business website.

Has to weigh up if he is after quality (speed of the website loading & reliability/uptime) or as cheap as possible.

WebCity are alright for hosting I've found. Friendly and quite functional user interface too.

LOL @ Shan

Well like others have recommended already, Justhost is really good.

I personally have a few websites hosted with them, and haven't had a trouble at all. For $3-4 a month, you get pretty much unlimited of everything lol (bandwidth, email accs etc.)

And once, I was having trouble with a website, I went for online help (live chat), got an operator to help me within 5mins, then he even went through the trouble to correct a mistake I made in a HTML which caused the problem. All solved within 20mins, was really please.

I'd recommend it

Is it really going to hurt him that the company he works for will miss out on a customer?

[Charles89]

Oh by the way, as Paul said, Justhost will give you a free domain with .com

So it is probably better if you got a domain from somewhere else with .com.au then just transfer it to Justhost

I've got my own 2U rackmount server hosted in Arizona, but I use that for personal dev work and "other" activities. Not gonna sell space/bandwith off that.

Justhost are the worst of the colocators. They basically shove as many accounts as they can fit into one server till they run out then start another one and so on. If you happen to need more space and the server is already full, they migrate you to another server, which can be a headfuck as they've been known to run totally different versions of software on different servers. They're like the Dodo of hosting. Cheap and nasty.

Find yourself a local colocator sharing a rack based in Brisbane. It'll be fast for your australian visitors, there's someone in Australia accountable for your shit and best of all you get an invoice for your business (i'm assuming this is for a business).
