[SWLUG] Any Good Linux Hosting Services in South Wales?

[Michael Parker]

Sorry If I'm not answering the question here, but I do only have 1/2 an eye
on the emails at the moment... I've been happily using Diogel - based in
south wales... and headed up by a SWLUG regular... I won't mention any
names, but for more info email gareth at diogel.com they can probably have
something that suits... ;)

**still tries to get over the footy result**

hope this helps

Mikey

# As noone appears to be biting you can have my tuppence worth ...
# 
# I've used a couple of webhosting providers in the UK 
# (studentwebhosting and 
# hostingunlimited). From my research most seem to offer pretty 
# much the same, 
# for about £40 you can get a PHP / MySQL account with ftp and 
# cpanel (an open 
# source admin system, like webmin(?)) access. Most of these 
# allow a phpBB (or 
# similar) system to be installed at the click of an icon 
# (hostingunlimited, 
# in common with several others use fantastico to make this easy).
# 
# FWIW you can usually get all this + several email accounts + 
# ftp access ... 
# for about £40-50 p.a. This seems to make V21 a bit over priced, no?
# 
# Shell accounts are another matter. Why do you need one? If 
# you think you 
# need it for standard web serving you don't. Most companies 
# only sell SSH 
# with their colocation / dedicated server packages - 
# presumably to prevent 
# abuse from hackers destroying their web servers!? 
# Colocation/dedicated 
# appears to start at about £40-50 per month!!
# 
# From a quick google I only found a handful of shell account 
# providers in the 
# UK, none in South Wales. University students seem to get 
# shell accounts, 
# perhaps you should apply to go to Uni :0)>
