Domain Hosting Recomendations?

sparky · Feb 02, 2021, 13:23:53

I'm looking at buying myself a Domain with Hosting, both for alternative email addresses and to have a go at Wordpress, purely as a hobby. I know that I could get a Wordpress account/ domain for free, but fancy the idea of my own domain name and the options to have a go with Wordpress/Joomla etc. I'm not bothered about traffic limits as it's not for business, but would want the email to be reliable and not severely restricted by quota's.

I would have preferred a UK hosted account, but the 3 year deals currently on offer from the likes of Hostgator/Bluehost seem to be far better than anything that's decently rated in the UK.

Can anyone advise of any better options?

Thanks.

Have you looked at Ecohosting.co.uk ?

That looks a good shout Ray, Thanks.

Have just had a web chat with them as well and all seems as I would like.

I'll think on it tonight, but that is certainly a good looking option.

For just a domain, I'd recommend Gandi.

Thanks guys,

Went with Ecohosting in the end. Nice simple cheap package that'll suit my hobbiest (if there is such a word) interest.

And coincidently, looks like they are based not far away from me.

Cheers.
