sweet, they are looking better and better

They link http://www.domainmonster.com for Domain Name Registration. The demo seems pretty good

Anyone have experience with them or others (Found 123-reg.co.uk and ukreg.com so far)? I would quite like lots of control so that I can create sub domains (eg blog.mydomain.com) and set up email (I assume I just create a mx record pointing to 5quid?). I assume once i buy mydomain.com i can add blog.mydomain.com etc for no extra cost...

Thanks so far

I wrote to 5quidhost asking about imagemagick and they replied:

Hello,

I believe imagemagick is installed on most of our servers already, as it's fairly popular. Ghostscript less-so, but installing it on request wouldn't be a problem.

We do discounted hosting for LUG members (particularly edlug), details can be found here:

If you have any further queries, don't hesitate to ask.

Kind Regards,

Admin

Not sure what imagemagick is but found this about it in the vlexo forums. Apparently it's featured.
Didn't find anything about ghostscript though.

thanks for the suggestions so far.

AndyBaxman: as much as I would love to do this, it requires I have somewhere permanent to plug it in!

5quidhost look quite good, but I would need to register my domain name separately?

The others look quite good to

Does anyone know if any of these have Imagemagick and ghostscript installed or if I can install it at a later stage (I have a nice little script that makes thumbnails of pdf s)?

The only host I have found so far that advertises it has imagemagick installed is godaddy.

Thanks

# Cheep? -> Yes. Free or 60 Dollars a year.
# Allow php & mysql? Yes. Plus python, perl, some other DBs, frameworks and stuff.
# linux? Yes.

Support is through the forum. They are also very flexible. You ask them, hey, can you put this on the server? ...and they're like, sure.

Only problem is, no shell access.

You can always do what I did.

Buy a PogoPlug (�49 from PC World)
Buy a suitable USB HD
Install Plugbox Linux onto the PogoPlug (its a variant of Arch Linux)
Install the Apache, PHP and MySQL packages.

Register a domain with DynDNS

Voila, your own LAMP server and permanent web presence.

The PogoPlug uses only a few watts, so is significantly cheaper than running a full x86 based server or most hosting solutions with the advantage that you have full control over it.

It also makes a neat mail server (e.g bob@bobthebob.org )
