Thanks for sharing this Ross. It's a really interesting story.

I loved SimplexWebs from the near beginning, but something is putting me off them a bit nowadays. The only other host I recommend these days is This*WebHost

Im attempting to make my first personal website/portfolio at home and im in search of good hosting site that someone has had a good experience with?

Thanks

If it's your first website I'd go with something cheap + reliable > So just out of personal experience I'd go with 1+1.

@Nick; I think that zFast is great hosting and cheap. zfast.co.uk

Hmm, when I was using the control panel from 1and1 they only offered a few features such as FTP whereas you could probably get cPanel hosting which is easier for new users for the prices they offer.

Also, when I purchased a web domain from them a year or two back I had emailed them about two weeks before my domain was due to expire to tell them I wouldn't be renewing it and I had no reply, then not long after I received an invoice even though I told them and they threatened to send a debt collection agency. Luckily, I managed to get in touch with a member of support to explain the situation and provide evidence and they removed the invoice so just make sure you sort everything out if you do plan on moving to another host with 1and1.

Grim times! Never had problems so far, but I haven't used them in a little while. I hope they haven't gone AOL on everyone and refuses to let people leave. It's a hostage situation.

Woo, thanks guys. I'll have to check them all out.

Hey,

I'll PM you my e-mail address, if you drop me a line I might be able to work out a deal for you on SimplexWebs.

I know it can be daunting seeing what has happened in our past, but we've been running fine for a long while since then and take security extremely seriously now (as Harry can vouch for, he's often having to sort me out when I've accidentally lost all my access...) and we recently invested heavily in new infrastructure (that we own 100% straight from Dell, not leased or anything) up in Manchester with SSDs, guaranteed RAM for each client etc. If you want, we can set you up with a free trial of some kind?
