cheap reliable hosting?

[Far]

Can anyone recommend some VERY cheap website hosting? I can search google, but would like one somones used and found to be reliable.

looking for nothing more than £2 per month / £30 per year.
Unlimited subdomains
1GB space
atleast 1 MySQL DB

I've simply to upload an expression engine site, which takes roughly 100MB total and requires 1 SQL DB, bandwidth should be very small as everything of size links to youtube. I've already got a domain name.

I'm not expecting a large footflow, so bandwidth isn't important.

If someone can recommend one that would be great.

Thanks

Call it a tenner and I'll host it for you.

10pound for the year or per month ??, and this for website/forum ?

 

[Tai]

for the year. mates rates :O

he wants it for a website

 

[Relentless]

Can a forum be added to this website and i can pay you now lol

 

[Tai]

Oh you want some too. What forum software ?

 

[Relentless]

Just as long as it looks good, is good and can edit it myself without knowing how to script it :P

 

[Tai]

Didn't answer my question but ok. phpBB is free forum software. I will set you up a basic forum with admin details and an ftp account for £10. Do you have your own domain or want to use one of mine? I'm a busy man so offer no support (unless you want to pay me more of course), so I don't want any pm's with HOW DO I ADD A STYLE IM THICK everything you need to know is on the phpbb website.

 

[MythRohan]

wish i knew this.... lol

 

[Relentless]

so theres no scripting needed to add anything ? because theres a phpbb one that we have atm and because i dont host it i cant edit ****. only thing i can do is remove posts and members.

 

[Tai]

What are you wanting to do exactly?

 

[Relentless]

Images, differnt styles, proberly fonts of forum, kinda abit like yours but just not as much, like you have banners and stuff

id suggest go read phpbb3 site, if u want to add anything to the base package u need do it self i think Tai mean
stuff like announcement centre and minichat i added on mine pretty easily
all approved mods come with exact instructions , usually requiring uploading files into webdir and mostly just editing about 8 php pages
make a typo and it usually breaks everything so make a backup b4 do anything

sidenote , Tai - what kinda ££ would you be looking for for simple diskspace? i gonna be running outta my current diskspace sometime soon , am making a few videos for heroes/evo/olyp and considering getting another host like my current one, but have no need of sql/subdomains, just some webspace fast enough to link vids to stream from ?

 

[Relentless]

ide need to learn how to do this stuff, the site said i had to download the files then pay for site, but im not paying for the site unless i know i can do it. i need a simple site/forum that can be edited "fully" by me and churchill, if you cant do that can you atleast tell me how to set it up on my pc please ?

 

[Far]

How long have you been hosting Tai? Whats your uptime percentage? Is it UK hosted (Are you physically hosting, or are you acting as a reseller).

What applications do i have access to? Have you got phpmyadmin installed? Or is it just an ftp.

I'm happy with £10

@relentless. Tai is just offering hosting, think of it as a blank folder. You put whatever you want in it, but it's completely down to you to set everything up. If you don't know how to set up a forum, i'd recommend using a free forum service like invisionfree.

for pc , the package u want is XAMPP
has everything needed , apachce/php/ phpadmind / mysql
id recommend adding mysql workbench into install dir tho for working with mysql
after its installed u have a folder called htdocs
pretty much any webby type 'program' just gets dropped into that dir and becomes accessible
id rate it as almost vital for testing 'offline' as well as working online

You can always use a free hosting like http://www.byethost.com/ to learn and test things.

How much space? Feel free to make suggestions re prices.

Oh, I'm not reselling officially, I just have hosting coming out of every hole possible and thought I'd do you a favour. You'd be sharing with me effectively. It's ipage if you wanna look into the features.

@Relentless judging by your current forum, you already seem to know your way around phpbb?? So I'm a little confused

@the rest of you will all be on the mirfiles server in france and will be ftp only (sql db's can be created through me if needed)

 

[Martyn]

"cheap" and "reliable" should never be used in the same sentence... :P sold my hosting company a long time ago, still own the main domains though

too much hassle :P

Yeah that sounds fine. As long as it'll only be yourself who has access to the main database and file permissions.

I don't need it instantly (still a few changes on the website to be made) but should be ready next week so i'll message you about it then.
