Hi i'm thinking of starting a website. i want it to be mainly a forum. don't want it to cost a lot of money live in the uk so a uk server would be ideal how much hard disk space and bandwith do you recomend i want it palpabaly to be a popular site too palpably=obviously
no just a forum no downloads unless to external sites ;D with a proper domain name though you don't know how many free forums i've setup the memories the pure horrific memories
I'm starting a UK based hosting business, so I will be able to help you soon. Domain names arent necessarily cheap though.
the basic plan that my company is going to offer gives you up to 150MB of disk space, but it is unique in that rather than paying a fixed monthly rate, you are charged a very small amount per megabyte (5p per megabyte, with a minimum charge of 50p) per month. So if you have 20MB of stuff on your website the first month, 100MB the second and only 10 the third month, you pay £1 the first month, £5 the second, and 50p the third. We do not restrict bandwidth unless you use absolutely ridiculous amounts, and just to sweeten the deal im discussing with seph about discounts for RomUlation members
sounds very very very *cuts down list to 1/7483678* good when can i sign up? wait how much is a domain name?
a domain name depends on the name, or more accurately on whether it is .co.uk, .com or .net etc. .co.uk is the cheapest website should be up in a couple of weeks
Yes, but that also means you can't use your upload much. Personally we run the family website on our own connection (1mbit upload) and our mail too, works fine despite me leeching hard on various torrents.
i have the same problem with my internet connection im using usenet for my downloading the rest is being used by my webserver
