I am looking for:

1. A well established reliable web host that has been around for a few years and had a good reputation.

2. Easy to use

3. Good security

4. Does not have to be the cheapest though I don’t want to pay through the nose either.

I want to use it as my main business page and as the address I will give to people for me on the web – but it will be used to click onwards to other web services related to my business such as blogs, image hosting and similar. Its main purpose is to link to these, not to hold info itself, so it will not contain many pages.

Any tips on questions to ask possible hosts/stuff I may get tripped up by when choosing a host would also be very helpful.

Thanks

Thanks.

Singletrack not got any suggestions… think I have gone into shock! 🙂

Even a suggestion where to look for web host adverts or reviews would be helpful. I have never had a web site before so don’t really know where to start trying to locate a host.

United Hosting or Catalyst2 are both very good – used for many years 🙂

Edit: Both also UK based with extremely good support, with phone numbers!

I’ve tried a few, and these guys: https://www.tsohost.com/ are fantastic. Easy to use interfaces. Rapid response to questions. Well connected servers. I’m impressed.

good reliable, have used them for a few years.

they even have people on the end of the phone, and normal landline numbers too.
