I went with http://ukwebsolutionsdirect.co.uk/hosting.php

They were user friendly, quite cheap, & there were no problems loading up the site I made on frontpage. It is dead easy to amend the web site detail as well.

I am sure though there are many as good, if not better.

I second what Robert said, www.ukwebsolutionsdirect.co.uk are excellent. I've been with them several years and I have never had any unscheduled downtime of my site. In addition to this, Neil and Paul, who run the site answer any queries or problems that you may have within about 10 minutes of logging the call. I would highly recommend them.

Susan / Robert,

Just the question I wanted answering. I had a look at their web-site and the question I now have is which package do I need? I have just started to build a website on Frontpage so it may be premature but how do you know which web hosting package to go for?

I went for the £25 per annum one, (cheapest) which is adequate for all my needs. The daily feedback stats are excellent.

I have the same, the bronze package. Leo, they also have some tutorials on getting started with Frontpage and Dreamweaver which I found far more helpful than the softwares' own help notes. It might be worth having a look if you are starting out.

Thanks for your replies. I saw on their web-site that there were some tutorials on using Frontpage and Dreamweaver. I have been working through a number of Frontpage tutorials on the microsoft website which have been really good.
