Summary

resources for finding web hosting for a UK site

I did some reseaching trying to find the best web host for a UK charity. Here's some useful links I found.

REGISTRATION

Go to nominet to find more about UK specific names

http://www.nic.uk

I find nameboy is really good for helping me search for a domain name

http://www.nameboy.com

I use GoDaddy to do all my name registration. I really like that you can use an

anonymous registration so that a proxy shows up in the whois database.

COMPANIES

There's lots of companies to choose from. Of late, I've been very impressed with

34SP which I've recommended to local charities using the LAMP platform.

For a good higher-end package, I've used 1&1

For personal sites, I've use WebHost4Life which is based in the US because the Microsoft SQL is cheap and bandwidth is unlimited
