We want to have UK presence. Should we therefore have a web host in the UK?

  2. Hello, our host has been open for 5 years and has a great plan for businesses that is actually on sale through April 17th. We have servers both in the UK (London) and in the USA (California) and you get to choose which one you want. Obviously you would want to choose the UK server. There is no price difference what-so-ever no matter what server you choose. Our business plan comes with 15GB storage, 300GB bandwidth and comes with a free domain name. It only costs $6.25 which is £3.72 per month. We also have a few other plans but I believe our Business plan would be perfect for you. We have live online chat support, online ticket support, and a toll-free telephone number (even if your in the UK!). Last of all, we have a 30 day money back guarantee so you know you will be safe with us. If there is anything you dont like we will give you a full refund, no questions asked. So visit us at http://www.hola-host.net and give us a shot!
    Thanks

    If you're setting up a business you have to check out this payment option (to be used in additional to existing processor). This allowed your customers to get your item for free…but you still get full price (it is paid for by advertisers.)

    It's been written about in the Wall Street Journal among other places. It's totally free for merchants AND if you refer other merchants you can get a $1,000 referral (promo expires soon though)

  5. Hi Shano,

    It is not at all necessary to have a web host in the UK. I'm in the UK and run a UK website with over 18,500 visitors per month but it is hosted in the USA.

    When choosing a web host it's of course important to consider the cost (some hosting can be very expensive) but here are some other important things you should take into consideration too:

    Web Hosting Space: Some web hosts will only give you 500MB or so of space. This could be a concern if you are looking at creating large websites.

    Bandwidth: Some web hosts will severely limit the bandwidth you can use before you incur extra charges.

    Uptime: There's no point in having a website if people can't see it. Does your web host offer at least a 99% uptime guarantee?

    Number of websites allowed: If you're looking to host more than one website on your account, will your web host charge you more to do this?

    Support: If you have any problems you need to be able to contact your web host quickly and easily to get the problem sorted.

    I have used Hostgator as my web host for over two years now and have been very very impressed with them. Firstly they're very cheap but still give me more web hosting space and bandwidth than I'll ever need, the ability to host unlimited websites, a 99.9% uptime guarantee and great customer support. You can find them at http://www.webhostgator.info
