    Hi guys,
    So I want to build a website, preferably with a ".com" domain name. I'll be setting up an affiliate website. All I know I need is the ability to easily use WordPress. I'd like to be able to host a few domain names so I can do a few projects and get better.
    I was going to go with HostGator, but they wouldn't accept the phone number I entered. What other trustworthy alternatives are out there? Has anyone else from Ireland been able to use HostGator before?
    Thanks for any answers.

    Ignore this thread. I made an embarrassing mistake. A note to other expats: Your international phone number extension needs to match the country of your billing address

    First off, generally speaking discussions of hosting on boards.ie are forbidden

    Secondly - there are plenty of Irish hosting providers so you don't need to go overseas to get service.
