Well, it’s been four years and now the time has come to say goodbye to my web host! Elixant, the company which host my website are closing down in March, and for the first time my portfolio’s site’s history - its going to have to move…

So, a little recolecting; I was with the Elixant team from the very start of thier company back in 2002 when I was priviledged enough to be given a free hosting account. Since then they’ve become a paid only hosting company, but in that time they have still given me the same support and service as if I were a paying customer (Even though I recently paid to increase my disk space!). But now due to thier own commitments they have decided to close it down to give them more time for thier studies.

And so this is it, I’m on the hunt for a new hosting provider, one which is Linux and has SQL databases! (And not a 100% requirement, but I do like Cpanel ) So, if anyone knows of any companies which are cheap and decent - tell me please!

I’ve been looking at WebFusion - (http://www.webfusion.co.uk/hosting/fusion-professional-linux/) which is £7.46 a month (thier cheapest with a MySQL database… but with diskspace at 3GB and monthly bandwidth at 25GB… I would never use anywhere near that… so I’m thinking it maybe a waste of money.

My current hosting account gives me;

Linux, 1GB diskspace, (not sure how much bandwidth - but I’ve only used 160MB this month so far so…(even though I’ve known it to rise to around 500MB+ on busy months)), 10 sub domains (even though I only use 1), 10 MySQL databases (30MB), unlimited email, Cpanel!

So, something similar to that would be great Wish me luck hunting!
