Website work

[Chris_Johnstone]

Hey guys and gals,

I'm aware that several of you have websites to display your work. I noticed a few of you use Clikpic and so on for design and hosting. I managed to design my own site but I have no idea where to start looking for hosting. I thought one of you might be able to point me in a good direction.

Also, if anyone knows any basic PHP I'd be grateful if they could pm me regarding forms - something that just baffles me.

I use Web-Mania. £25 per year for 500megabyte. And thier support is excellent.

As for designing, I just use a straight forward html editor. Things like Frontpage tend to clutter the code with too much extraneous html.

I use Award winning web hosting UK - SupaNames. Linux hosting, Windows hosting. £16:50p per year and that includes 150meg of web space and your own domain name. Up time is over 98%. I have used Supanames for more than seven years with no problems and have Seven websites hosted with them for various people. I would highly recommend them.

That sounds exactly what I'm after, Roger. I need a domain name in the process. Do they include an email addresses, I think that would make this PHP form thing a bit easier being held under the same domain.

Hi Chris, Yes e-mail adresses are included, no limit to how many as far as I know and their servers do support PHP, but don't ask me how to write PHP as all I know is very basic. I think you can get ready made forms coded in PHP free from various places on the net. I assume you are thinking of using PHP forms for feedback etc.

Yea, that's right. I just got it working in the last half hour or so. However, the formmail is sent to my gmail account, that automatically marks it as spam so it doesn't show up in my mail client (Mail), hence why I was wondering about the email addresses attached to the domain.

Supanames sounds like it's perfect. I only have one site and one lowly php requirement but I guess you have to start somewhere!

Thanks for the help.

Hi Chris the e-mail addresses attached to the domain if you use Supanames can be prefixed with any name before the domain name itself and you will still receive the mail. It's referred to as a catch all e-mail address so in theory you can have as many e-mail addresses as you want.

Hi there
Re domains, try 1&1 Internet Ltd.. Only £1.99 per year for .co.uk names. I've been using them for 3 years now and no problems.
For hosting I use the free space that my isp provides (tiscali) I get 50mb and have a fairly large site taking up about 35mb, bandwidth maybe a problem if I get many more people checking out my pics.

Looks like I took the dear option I use Webfusion for hosting my site. 6Gb of webspace (3Gb used so far lol), 60Gb of monthly bandwidth, a couple of domain names and catchall email addresses. £110/year

Which ISP are you with Chris as a lot offer free web space to members. I get 200 mb free with mine ( freedom 2 Surf).
