Web Hosting - Recommendations?

[Tony Hardy]

Can anybody recommend me any good webhosting packages?
I'm looking at using Wordpress, so the easy install thing would be good.
Also, if I can get a free domain or two in it, that'd be really helpful.

I have a second site and i just wanted a cheapy package, went on to ebay and got 2years unlimited with a domain for £9.99 - once click Wordpress installation and haven't had a single down time.

Yeh, yeh you get what you pay for but it isn't for my main site so I wasn't so concerned but I have to say top notch service.

Yeah I've bought a package through ebay before, and the company went pop.

But, I've also used these before for another website and it's still functional.

I use these chaps, can’t fault them:

cPanel Hosting UK | Cheap Domain Names | Free R1Soft | UK Virtual and Dedicated Servers - Vidahost Fast UK Web Hosting

I haven’t used the software installer though but Wordpress is dead easy to install anyway.

Is there a huge difference between Windows and Linux servers? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

[djb]

If you need .asp scripts, SQL server or Access then you’ll have to get a Windows server, if not just go with Linux every time. I’m no techie though so maybe someone will be along with a better answer!

[Corrosive]

Get Linux if you can.

I got a good deal off www.One.com

I got a good deal off One.com Web hosting**-**Domain • Hosting • E-mail**

My main site is with them but getting Wordpress installed wasn't a piece of P1ss - but that's not the be all and end all.

The issue I have with the eBay host is it says in the feedback they don't allow you multiple domains to point at their site.

Whats your main site anyway Penguin?
