where to get a domain name and hosting in CH

Hi,

I would like to purchase a .ch domain and some basic web hosting.

Can someone recommend a company for this ? One where they speak english preferably.

Thanks in advance

Wow, super fast response, thanks

Are there special conditions to registering a .ch domain ?

In Ireland, registering a .ie is a lot more sophistimicated than registering a .com

Thanks again.

You register the domain with Switch

Metanet are another option for hosting

Re: where to get a domain name and hosting in CH

I know it is difficult to get a .ie even for an email address with geolocation checks.

Nothing in particular from what I see at http://www.marcaria.com/Switzerland/...gistration.htm but others who have done it before might be able to assist you a little further.

Cool,

I forgot to mention that i want the ability to be able to send and receive SMS's with the hosting.

By receive, i mean someone can post data to the site using a SMS message.

Hopefully one of the companies can provide this

You are looking for an application level feature here, I'd be surprised if any web hots offered this.

Register your domain with Switch (takes about 10 mins, no restrictions) then think about what you are trying to achieve and find a web host / hosted application to suit. The web host can be anywhere, so don't limit yourself to Switzerland (unless you are hosting data that would come under a Swiss privacy law but I get the impression you are not ) Do however consider additional network latency when you web host if geographically far from your userbase (try to have a host close to your userbase)

Re: where to get a domain name and hosting in CH

www.infomaniak.ch are really good. They are based in Geneva and offer a good local service. They have a solid client base (nearly 70 000 domains are hosted with them) and their sites load very quickly. They offer a first year hosting fee of 140 chf which includes 5 gigs of space, unlimited email accounts bla di bla....

I host a site with them and I have had no problems....

Good luck

Drupal has a module for SMS although I haven't used that myself: http://drupal.org/project/smsgateway

You can even go as far as Google pretends:

Siberia would be a pretty good place to setup a data center if you could use the outside temperature to cool the place.

They seem like a great hosting company to go with, but 12 raps for an SMS is steep IMHO
