Just looked at Metanet and unless I am mistaken I can't see an English option - thus no good for me and my B1 German
I am also searching for a hosting service now but have little experience. My main customer base will be in the UK and considering I bought (most of) my domains from UK Cheapest (UKC) they were a logical place to start. Has anyone had any experiences/problems with there hosting service?
They offer: Host up to 2 Domains
* 1,000Mb Web Space
* POP/SMTP email Services
* Web Based Control Panel
* 10,000Mb Monthly Traffic
* CGI / Perl / PHP 5.2 / mySQL for £28.68 p/y. For my small (10 pages, 40 photos) ready built site, what might I be missing? In terms of service I've sent them a couple of emails enquiries today and they have been very responsive (although maybe sales is different to technical support...?) |

Deano - i contacted them and you can set the control panel to English
and given that it's in Switzerland - they'll likely speak some English too
don't know about any UK hosting....
i've got my domains at godaddy.com but not hosting there - not an issue | Quote: | |  | | | Just looked at Metanet and unless I am mistaken I can't see an English option - thus no good for me and my B1 German

Thought I would let you know I signed up with UK Cheapest and so far so good. All support is through email but they have been very responsive.
If you're interested my new venture is running tours through Basel (or sightjogging as some people call it). Have a look at www.baselrunningtours.com and let me know what you think (guess I will introduce formally through another thread but you guys get sneak preview  ).

Thanks for suggestion AdFab. We have the .ch also but are using the .com as main site to promote. For now tours are in English so UK/US tourists and business travellers + (new) expat community are initial target.
German, Italian and French language tours are all in the pipeline though.

I've been using Hoststar.ch for a local club. I volunteer my time and do small changes when they need it, but I would like to find one that uses SQL and ASP.net, just to make it easier for me for future development.
Green wants CHF 10 a month for an SQL database and iWay only offers it on a business plan.
Any other suggestions?

I have used WWW.one.com since the beginning of the Internet and are very happy with their service. They are very international and when you reside in Switzerland your first bill is as little as CHF 14 for the first year incl. registration of domain, web hotel and set up. After that it is CHF 3 per month or something in that price range. Very reliable.

One point regarding Hostpoint who I signed up with recently, is that they don't offer WHOIS privacy. I didn't think to check beforehand because it's always been available with other companies I've signed up with in the past.
I'm now in the process of transferring my domains to other companies which do offer WHOIS privacy whilst keeping the hosting with Hostpoint, which is otherwise good.

| | Re: web site hosting | Quote: | |  | | | Your webhost should be near your customers. This is for speed and for search engines. www.hostpoint.ch take some beating on price and service.

Support is really cool, and with i really like is that you can make personal PHP profiles which let tune you the performance for your website.
And also the email service, is #1 |

..but the min. SSL packages costs CHF 25 a month! Others offer this for CHF 50-100 for the whole year.
Any other suggestions?
