Website start up help, by Wiseblood on May 27, 2008 19:40:35 GMT 1, My girlfriend has started a media/production company and needs a website, she has asked me for help on a few things.
This is the email she sent me:
I'm trying to register a domain name and find a host. I'm new to this whole game and this is my first time setting up a site.
I've looked into a few providers but got completely confused.
I need a company that can give me .com AND .co.uk for the same name. After that I'm not sure what else to look for though.
I need enough space for a 7-10 page site which will have audio and embedded links to google video.
So I have no idea what gigabites I need to get.
I've looked at godaddy.com but have heared really bad things but I can't find anyone else who does .com and .co.uk
I also need to send out a marketing email when my website is up and running. I need a template to use, a free templete. I think it's called emarketing
Any help will be appreciated as it means i can spend my night shift playing daft online games instead of doing research for her.

Website start up help, by Blind Angle on May 27, 2008 19:58:43 GMT 1, We use www.names.co.uk
They are a bit expensive but they offer a great customer service and support also over the phone!
Previously we used a host that only offered email support and for novices such as us it was crap....and they rarely bothered to answer our questions.
To get both the .com and co.uk domain names should just be a question of availability.
cheers

go to my site and click on daddison, bottom right hand corner. He'll do everything for you. He just did Matt Smalls site as well and he is an artist himself so it's good to keep it in the family. 
Good rates too.

There is a cheap and big uk company that I would avoid at all costs but I won't name them here. I use godaddy for .coms and have had no problems with them. You'll always get your .coms cheaper if you use an american company even if your english company offers them. You get A LOT more for your money when you use a US company for hosting too. For top quality hosting I use mediatemple.com but not sure if you need that - so I would recommend dreamhost.com who are great to deal with and pretty much unbeatable on price.

Website start up help, by junkieart on May 27, 2008 22:47:08 GMT 1, I would use 1and1.com (if you want a small/budget website), very cheap they also provide templates and easy CMS (content management system) to enable you to change the site (Video, text, images etc) or you could buy adobe contribute about ยฃ100 to let you cheaply alter your site, though you would need to a professional to design/code your site. Good luck though its not that tricky when you get in!!(However if you want a professional all singing all dancing website) You also need to bare in mind whether you will need asp, php or mysql, I no that sounds confusing but it depends what you want and security you need, please PM me with any questions, but basically in my experience the cheaper you go the less bolt-ons you can get, so you need to look at the big picture. E-marketing is a different ball game, you then get into data protection issues, we use mailchip which is great BUT you need to provide info that you aren't spamming people, the interweb police are big on this at the mo!! Again PM me and I'll try and help, need a bit more info on the end plan. JA
