I want to host my website so I can have loads of pages and images and text and everything that would take up space, so what am I looking for to host?
I also want emails accounts and custom auto-responders.
& Myowndomain .com thing!

And I have to pay for it in '£' Pounds sterling.
But if you see a really good deal in dollars then please post it here anyway!!

people got any good hosts to link here?

Too cheap
Nice deal

Don't ask me anything about their reliability.

To answer the title of your question "Space or Bandwidth??"

Looking at your requirements, It would appear that you may need a good amount of space, especially if pictures and graphics are a large part of content. Do you expect your weBsite to Be very Busy with traffic? if so then Bandwidth is also important to serve all that content. You see, it's a Balancing act and only YOU know the proBaBilities.

Why are you knocking these recommendations, some hosts, give this kind of features for free!! XOOPS is very portaBle so if things don't work out you could switch to another host.

MayBe you could give more projected figures for content and traffic if you want specific recommendations

Guess why I wrote too cheap?
I also wrote I don't know anything about their reliability = I don't use them. I run my own server using dyndns.org

Svaha, thanks for this recommendation Onsmart looks a pretty good host. I spoke on their live help today and had a good look around the host site. 10000mb and 50 GIG of b/w cant be bad for $7.50/month. and guaranteend 99.9% uptime. worth a look max100?? sems to offer what you need at a good price, BUT not so cheap as to be suspicious!!!

What a strange world we live in; I mean we judge so much quality on price. If I passed yopu in a street and offered you $1000 for nothing you would think I was a weirdo, right? Mmmmm

Get a decent amount of space if you have a lot of content (especially if you plan to use tinycontent or similar!) - and plenty of bandwidth if you have a site which may be very popular.

Prices start from about 15 pounds a year (yes - a year!) or from about 120 for the advanced packages (with up to 10 domains, 5 databases, etc)
