Re: website hosting and domains

2004-08-05 Thread P.Bull
I also use hostingshop and it costs me about $110 a year for hosting. I
can't remember what package I have but it suits my small business. But the
important part is their service. I recently had a problem getting email
(probably caused by me *#$@@!) and they were very helpful and patient in
sorting it out via email.
Hope this helps

 Rosemary,
 
 Where I work provides web hosting, but we aren't as cheap as some of the
 other suggestions:
 
 $200/year
 50MB space and i think it's unlimited email addresses...
 
 Netregistry is a pretty good place to reg domains, another which can be
 cheap for .com addresses is enetica: http://www.enetica.com.au/
 
 There are no bandwidth limits on our hosting either...

 Needs to be relatively cheap, if possible. No need for website design
 or anything . I can do that.
 
 If there's anyone local I'd like to support them.
 
 So far I've seen
 $80 50 meg with smartyhost
 $100 a year for 50 meg with hostingbay.com.au
 
 I've seen domain registering for com.au for $60

 had bad experiences as isp.
 discount domain $65; netregistry $66 anyone know them?
 Everyone else seems to be $79

Morning all,

Ilisys Web Hosting

http://www.ilisys.com.au

They are local as in Perth, all they do is web and domain hosting visit 
their site for relative costs etc., they also have fairly active forums 
for their clients with many subjects relating to web sites and domain 
management covered.


I have personally been using them for 2 years now, absolute brilliant 
support and  I believe value for money in my situation. While setting 
network in motion with our domain they worked with us to achieve a 
viable solution, all via local technicians, administrators and support 
network.

Hi Rosemary,

I use Hosting Shop http://www.hostingshop.com.au and find them amazing
value for money. No problems for a complete novice like me to use their
control panel set-up to upload pages and set-up email accounts  forwarding.
They also have many other features which I've yet to explore!

I chose their cPanel Junior package
http://www.hostingshop.com.au/cpanel_junior.htm I joined in Nov 2002 and
for AUD$125 per year I get (features copied from my Nov.2002 sign-up - could
be slightly different now):

Free domain name set-up  registration (.org in my case)
125Mb disc space
4GB Monthly traffic (when I signed up - looks like it's 2GB/month now)
10 POP3+IMAP Email accounts (unlimited forwarding, aliases, autoresponders)
Weekly Tape back-up
Control panel
Detailed Traffic Statistics

Advanced? stuff I don't need yet:
ASP
PHP
Unlimited sub-domains
Front page extension
Quicktime  flash
pre-installed scripts - forms/counters

All site management is done by logging into a browser-based control panel
which has icons for the following functions:
€Mail€Webmail   €Change Password
€Parked Domains  €Addon Domains €FTP Manager
€File Manager€Disk usage€Backup
€Password Protect Directories   €Error pages
€Subdomains  €MySQL Databases   €SSH/Shell Access
€Redirects   €Frontpage Extensions
€Web/FTP Stats   €Raw Access Logs   €Raw Log Manager
€Error log   €Subdomain Stats   €Search Engine Submit
€Chatroom€PhpMyChat €Bulletin Board
€CGI Center  €Scripts Library   €Agora Shopping Cart
€Cron jobs   €Network Tools €MIME Types
€Apache Handlers €Manage OpenPGP Keys
€HotLink Protection  €Index Manager €IP Deny Manager

I have only had cause to use a few of these so far but in terms of setting
up my first website it has all been very easy.

There are also support forums which include tutorials on how to do certain
things (set up email accounts, mySQL databases etc) but so far I've found it
all pretty self explanatory.

As you can probably tell, I've been very happy with it and it's all been a
lot easier than I expected - not often I can say that about computers
nowadays even using Macs :(

Check it out.


Neil
(PS. Note that $125pa includes BOTH web hosting AND domain registration for
my .org site - a .com.au domain may be more)
