No experience, but looking at their site things that strike me:

- Their own site is kinda slow, which can be a bad sign
- 500Mb webspace is good...
- ...but only 1Gb bandwidth isn't all that great, especially with that much space to fill
- You get no email addresses, which is rubbish
- You get no MySQL databases, which probably won't matter to most people but again is kinda poor.

Price-wise, it's almost identical to the company I use, but I get 4Gb bandwidth, 10 email address, unlimited sub-domains (www.THIS.website.com), unlimited MySQL and a whole bunch of other stuff that I'll never use but make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Cheers for the reply.

Well I was gonna go for one of the more expensive packages, the free SSL certificate appeals....they will probs stick me for the IP address charge, but its still gonna be cheaper than buying a SSL and stactic IP.

What host do you use m8?

Cheers.

And yeh i agree, having all the other crap that your never gonna use does give a fuzzy feeling xD

I've used UK2 for years, and found them excellent, but a bit tricky if you're not used to addon domains etc.
