Agrees! I've used this service for over 4 years now and never had a problem. The plus is there very good value as well and have consistantly out classed any of there competitors for pricing in the Irish market without compromising in any way the services they offer.

Support is exceptional, fast and friendly. Maybe I'm biased being a long term client of theres but personally I can't find any that equal there standards in Ireland.

Top class company in my book anyway...

Mr.M

do they offer some of the services that i mentioned above like website stats, polls etc..

Is it a commercial site or just a personal site? If it is only a personal site then just go with the cheapest option. If it is a commercial site then you need to look at your target audience - if your target audience is ireland then get a webhost whos servers are located in Ireland. I recommend hosting365.ie for Irish hosting.

Your best bet is to go to:
www.hosting365.ie - Have dealt with hosting365 and am a very happy customer.
www.blacknight.ie - Haven't dealt with them but have heard good things.
www.webhost.ie - I know nothing about them
www.host.ie - I know nothing about them

and look at the packages they offer.

I've used this company for over a year now for the band and they are great!

Support is excellent too, not that I needed for much accept minor things at the start (mainly because I was new to the whole thing).

stats yes - polls you would install yourself - run from a mysql db or a flat file db..

Stats are quite extensive btw but yeah they run everything I've put by them. They even ran my dsp stream from winamp for me for awhile, not many do or can do that...

www.instaspace.com most reasonable I have found, am hosting 5 sites with them, very good support too, via msn chat. They dont do .ie though.

Thumps up for webhost.ie from me also

www.brinkster.com is who I use, for the price and level of service they offer I feel they're unmatchable..

Mr.M

thanks for all the suggestions and comments.........i've gone for webhost.ie....let the fun begin:D
