Webspace - What package?
 

Right, my dad has agreed to pay for some webspace. im gonna go with I Web for this. I want to just host a forum so what package do you reccomend?

Over to you.
EDIT: Do i have pay the cost per amount or is it just the monthly charge i have to pay?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

What ever you do KP, don't give him your phone number ;)

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

thought you had a forum up , or has it died :confused:

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

I only get 8mb of space. So i agreed with my dad that i wanted some space from I-Web and he agreed to pay for it. That way i can either use PHPBB or Invision power board release version 1.3

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

99p per month gets you one msql db for the forum (invision installs from fantastico itself) 100mb web space and if i remember right 2 gig data xfer per month. or you can pay it in one lump for the year.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Great. So do i pay 0.99 to start off with? what does the £10.69 mean then?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

£10.69à ƒÆ’ƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬à ƒÆ’‚ = Cost per annum as the box says!
And if you scroll down to find out what the symbol means:
"Annual payments incur savings of 10%"

Good luck KP!

Does this:

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

If you want domain hosting you have to pay for a domain too, so it's extra.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

So what is the domain when i have finally signed up?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

The domain name will be whatever you want it to be providing it has not been already taken by someone else an easy way to find out this would be to do a whois on the domain name that you would like to use.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Just one more question is there a minimum 12 month contract?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

No

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

I find www.uk2.net a good site for searching on domain names.
Unlucky wna.co.uk and wnas.co.uk have both gone...
Plenty more including:
wnaforums.co.uk
wnaonline.co.uk
etc

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

its more likely that im gonna go for this:

http://www.wayneaustin.co.uk

Or this:

http://www.wayne-austin.co.uk

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

*runs to buy wayneaustin.co.uk and puts an extortionate re-sell charge on it*

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

:D

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Too late i beat ya too it :D:D:D

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

huh?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

:bigcry: its already taken :(



just kidding

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Is there any way you can reserve that address?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

too late :erm:

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

lmao!!!!!

Only way to reserve an address is to buy it

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

WHAT!!!!! :bigcry:

@KP i will have to be pdq then.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

only way to get the address is to pay for it and as it is first come first served then afraid there would be no way of reserving it as with any domain name

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

I have the domain name screen come up and i want it to be a .co.uk domain name. Its asking £17.98. I thought this was included with the package.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Listen carefully, very carefully ... YOU HAVE TO BUY A DOMAIN IF YOU WANT DOMAIN HOSTING, did you really expect I-web to stump up a free domain for 99p a month hosting?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

lol - yes - a tenner a year for the hosting & free domain at 8 quid cost to the host, that'll work ;)

thanks for being kind to him Bifta :)

- WNA, I just went & logged into my i-web control panel & created an invision board in a matter of minutes, using 'fantastico' - that 18 quid is money well spent, mate. - bear in mind your new domain will take a couple of days to propagate in the DNS, though.

- as it is just an 'empty' site, atm, I'll post the url so you can have a look, but if anyone has a problem, with that, regarding spamming, i'll not be unhappy if it gets deleted :angel:

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Yes fantastico is a superb bit of sofware that comes with cpanel it takes all the hassle and frustration of trying to install a forum with no need to worry about setting up your mysql database or running long complicated installation scripts with a couple of click of a button and a few very simple questions to answer and you have your forum installed almost instantly ready for you to do your own thing with it.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

The only thing i will say and this is what put me off:

a) You have to provide a postal address
b) A telephone number

@ Gaz the link don't work.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

plus you have e-mailed the main info to the address of my choice :tu:, the options in the i-web cpanel are brilliant. :)

I'm sure once WNA has his domain registered be as happy as I am, with your service :cool:

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Unfortunately you have to WNA, you *might* be able to do an opt-out though which we have done with this site and NTHW.
Me, I couldn't care less - my details are there for all to see on my domain.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

try ctrl f5? - anyone else having a problem?

yes - to register a domain you have to provide personal details for 'whois' - postal address is in the electoral register, anyway, - not sure about the phone?

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Yes you can opt out on all .co.uk domain names which in essence your information is not displayed publicly when some one does a whois on the domain name unfortunatly this does not apply to gTLD names such as .com .net .org etc altough there are sites that you can use to register a domain name where these will not be displayed one such site is called "domains by proxy" another site that does this is godaddy.com although they do charge a little extra for this service.

Re: Webspace - What package?
 

Just to say i`m really happy with my £10.69 package. (Thanks I-Web)
I`d go with it.
