Finding Host

I'm going to take you through what I excperiance while talking
to different companys about hosting this site.
The Host must have MYSQL, PHP, Wordpress
Also I'll be checking for any limits like on database size.
Stay Tuned

I contacted 1&1 And wasn't kept waiting to long with there chat
system which I found easy to get along with, I may have gone
with them except for a limitation most who run normal sites wont
come up against but a forum can take up a lot of database space.
HTML https://www.ionos.co.uk/hosting/web-hosting#packages
You'll notice the limit on there MYSQL db is 2GB, This may seem
a lot but not for this site with all the data and forums I would
expect it to out grow that in maybe 5 years depending on forum
activity.
They did give me an option that was an unmetered server Don't
think I want to mess with a server as 5Gb in 10 years would be
about right.

To be honest I didn't like it
from the genaral look of there site There's a giant 75% Off sale
sign sorry but If I do this I want a host that's not that
desperate for Clients.
Anyway thought I would have a chat well they found one of my pet
hates there chat system was over complicated in the extreme in
that it was describing tickets and members well I wont go on you
can look yourself.
Well I braved it and filed out there name field and sent a
message and waited, waited,waited then closed the page one host
I wont have to think about anymore, now I understand the 75%
sale 8))

Just been talking to
HTML https://uk.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting
my domin is with them so thought I would check all looked really
good the site was good, chat was nice and easy plus didn't have
to wait long.
They have one plan that looked perfect except for when I asked
the database limit question I found the gotya while you can have
25 database with there deluxe plan your limited to a very
limiting 1Gb.
Why make something look good offering 25 database then chop my
head of when I would only need one maybe 4-5 gb in 10 years
depending on forum activity.
the thing that bugs me about this host is they didn't show the
information where I could find it easily a year or so later I
would have run out of space do I chop my db in bits and put bits
in different Db's :o >:( I wont say more!!

Just checked out
HTML https://www.fasthosts.co.uk/web-hosting
Clicked
there live chat which is NOT a live chat they want your email or
phone number, I don't think so.
anyway checked there packages and they get points for giving the
information as to limits they are another 1Gb but thought I
would talk to them to see if there was another option, thats
when I found out there live chat was nothing of the sort.
so thats another no the search continues.

This one takes the biscuit
HTML https://www.uk2.net/web-hosting
Where
to start.
[img width=200

I found there package information which as with a lot only gave
basic information, As usual you could have loads of databases 10
for the plan that seemed to suit what I was looking for so
thought I would talk to them lol
then I started was playing
The Supermen Lovers, Starlight
by the time I got an answer I had listerned to and made a cuppa
put washing on
The Gibson Brothers, Cuba
Yazz & The Plastic Population, The Only Way Is Up
When I closed it which I'll give more details below I was
literning to
Foreigner, I Want To Know What Love Is
Now What do I think about there chat that is when I finally got
to talk to somebody well at the end they asked me to give them a
1-5 star rating I'll let you guess what I gave them.
First I had to fill out there form name, Email, Domin, then
select what I wanted to chat about and finally what I wanted to
talk about.
you would think that was it I would be chating Nope they then
displayed a code and a box for me to add it to All I can say is
NUTTS.
Well I finally got somebody to talk to and there first quest was
whats your Domin then they asked me for the code I just added to
the box.
If I designed a system like that I would pay somebody to put me
out of my misery.
P.S. Forgot this fun bit the person I was talking to must have
had a very slow connection as to a while for them to even replay
and dont thing there was a person typing thing.
