Anyone in the Uk suggest a good host for VB

Yeh no problem, at the end of the day site performance matters most for busy sites like yours. And it seems to work for you well that host. I just wanted to point the prices out for other here looking for a host to compare against. Thats all.

There not cheap. Here is the price and stats for there 1000mb service option.

1000MB Space
25GIG Bandwith
$10 Month = about £60 UK

MY host for that price gives me:

GOLD PACKAGE
2GB Space
30GB Data Transfer


I get double the space and an extra 5GIG data transfare

Sure.... I bet you could find some cheaper webhosts than that too; take a look on webhostingtalk - you can read up about a plethora of them there. Thing is, in my opinion it's simply not all about price. If you are looking for the cheapest webhost then of course yes, price is the most important factor, but it's not mine - service and satisfaction is.

With webhosting, you need to feel comfortable paying what you believe to be a fair price a for whatever service you receive. If you are satisfied that you are receiving the service you require, then a few quid here or there is of no concern. Too many people are far too concerned about price.

Do you buy a Mars bar in newsagents1 because it is 0.03p cheaper than newsagents2? I doubt it. I appreciate we are talking a little more money wrt webhosting, but the concept is the same.

EDIT: Gary - some beautiful pics you have on your site... excellent. What camera did you use for those?

The Discus Fish pictures were found on the net that I just uploaded to get some content on my new site at the monent to look at in showing what the fish look like.

But I do have a digi cam and will be uploading my own personal stuff in the future. But that section was setup mainly just for general discus images that people to post found off the net etc. Not for "Personal Members" images which would be private for Guests to view when in place, which will be added soon.

I'll bookmark your site if you don't mind and take a look again soon. I don't have any fish just now but used to have a few several years ago. I also know a few people who do have some and will let them know of your URL

i host with www.micfo.com - they're in the US, but by the time you convert $ to £ it works out so much cheaper. Please for the love of all things black & blue, dont host with Hosting Unlimited - they are the worst bunch of crooks in the game (although i'm not sure there is such thing as a good crook).

If you're going to host with micfo, please let me know so i can be your referal and claim my $50!

I use www.webmania.co.uk for mine. I'm not 100% sure exactly how much storage it is but it's plenty for a forum and at one point I had over 400 games in my arcade. It's 6Gb bandwidth per month but you can buy more as and when you need it so it's great for new sites or low traffic ones. At &#163;20.00 for the year it is very cheap and it is very reliable. I've hardly had any problems at all with them and have just renewed for the third year for my forums and also use them for 5 other sites I have.

Hi Darren

I'm with www.webfusion.co.uk and their service is excellent.

This is no longer the case and I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!
