Kaihaku Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've heard good things about BlueHost from folks on this forum, never used them personally.I would advise steering clear of iPowerWeb and GoDaddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrFox Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 It depends on where you are located and the amount of traffic you expect to receive.If you are living in the UK I recommend you get a UK hosting provider as it will benefit you in search engine rankings for the UK and also help your site load faster. With traffic, if you are a fairly small business or just starting out, you might be ok on a reliable shared hosting package. If you expect heavy volumes of traffic though you will need to go for dedicated hosting. Make sure if you are just starting out that your hosting provider is also flexible enough to move you onto dedicated hosting should you require it in the future.Just remember, don't go for the cheapest option offering unlimited everything. Those ALWAYS have hidden limitations or are unreliable hosting providers. Good luck with your new eCommerce site :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehandlestudio Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I think they start of at £2.99+ vat a month or £17 a year, open a ticket and ask them the question, Dominic or Seb will reply to you within 10 to 15 minutes and will give you more details than me, and also you will see there super customer service in action first before buying.Regards,Mark.
