Re: Website Hosting - Shameless plug :-)

He he - you're all shameless!  Netbenefit want £200 p.a for the kind of
service provision that is going for less than £50 from all of you plugging
away here, so I at least know for certain who won't be hosting my site!  I
would be nice to hear from some users, as well as providers though ;-)

According to the NetBenefit faqs, I can change the DNS settings (and keep
them as the technical contact) for free, or I can transfer the domain to
another provider for £19, so it should be straightforward enough.

How's about web hosting from Monaghan Consultants Ltd ?

Packages starting from £10 per year.

The £10 starter package should meet your requirement for basic static (or
simple PHP) pages. For anything database driven, you'd need a bigger
package. Let me know what you need and I'll do you a UKHA special.

We host a combination of small business sites and personal sites, the
server
loads are kept low to ensure decent performance.

The technical bits

Cpanel control panel
Virus checking on all email passing though the server (hourly updates)
Optional SPAM filtering
PHP
SSI
MySQL (optional on starter package)

I presume NetBenefit will allow you to modify the DNS settings so as to use
our DNS servers rather than simply doing a redirect ?
