Webspace

[Baz007]

Firstly, I have searched and I've been looking at the results for an hour!

So, here goes....
I've decided I'm fed up with having my images hosted on Image host or various sites like that. I was thinking of getting my own webspace, maybe having a template for a site, no need for a shop as my pictures aren't any good. Problem is, I don't know what I need. What does everybody else have?

I use Gallery2 for the gallery section and Word Press for the blog bit...the rest of the design is my own doing.


I suggest your first priority is deciding what do you want the site to do initially? ... and do you feel your going to expand it later or just keep it personal?

I have some space with www.vidahost.com.

I use Streamline.net under the recommendations from the folks on here. But not got my macroshooter.co.uk site up yet

 

[Slapo]

It's here quite often these days, maybe searching the forums could help too.
For example this one could be of some assistance:

I have my own space hosted on vidahost and write my own pages for the general site. The gallery is jalbulm and chameleon (skin). Works well and links in with your paypal account for sales (very basic settings).

I also use Streamline.net but following a few problems about them taking money from my credit card without permission over the years I pay by cheque

Why not just you flickr if you're only going to be hosting photos. It's only £12 per annum.

Thanks, as I said I did search but never came across the thing you just linked. Think i might get some space and do what Wandering Mind has posted up!

It's probably in the keyword then.
I've skipped the first line, sorry about that.

i have used surpass hosting for years without any problems, it's fantastic value, i think i pay something daft like £27 for the year and get 5gig space, 30gig traffic, unlimited SQL, unlimited addon domains etc etc. I can't fault it really

I just uploaded my new site onto http://www.000webhost.com/, which is free, has a very handy cpanel for uploading and organising files. No problems yet, but my site's only been up a few hours

 

[Baz007]

Tom, whats the catch? Surely there has to be one?

Apparantly not! No adds, 250 MB disk space, 100 GB data transfer, cPanel access, full domain hosting allowed, unrestricted php and mysql, free pop3 mailbox. They'll give you a free domain with a .890m.com suffix if you don't have one.

Only limitation I've found so far is that you can't upload files of more than 5mb at a time.

Well, thanks for that, I've just signed up!
