Thanks for the info – I’ll definitely check out Meir Hosting.

I currently use http://www.easily.co.uk for hosting my websites – Linux Standard package, which for £29.79 + VAT works fine for my websites. However, if I want to use WordPress I’d have to upgrade to their Linux Enhanced package at £52.75 + VAT. I tried doing this once but their Support was hopeless, but in the end I managed to upload WordPress (manually), but I must have done something wrong because the control panel didn’t look right, so I can’t really use it yet….I don’t believe it has Fantastico.

I guess I’ll just need to spend more time trying to fix it. I wish I could find a UK hosting company that automatically installs WordPress for you – just like the hosting companies (USA) that are displayed on the WordPress.org site.

I currently use Meir Hosting. They have had their problems in the past with availability, however the response from the support I can’t fault.

Despite a few hickups I’ve stuck with them for a few years now, and have a reseller account. I will shortly be moving to a dedicated server, purely for resilience reasons.

I am surprised that you would have to upgrade your hosting package in order to use a simple tool like WordPress. Who is your host at the moment? Have you tried installing wordpress manually, or failing that, in your control panel do you have an option for Fantastico?

The hosting I currently use is quite good, but if I want to use WordPress I would have to upgrade my current hosting package to a much more expensive one, which puts me off using WordPress, especially if it is for a new site that I’m not sure will actually make me enough money to cover the hosting fees…

Yes its true. Sadly I did over sleep and miss my flight… a repeat of what happened a few years ago in Glasgow. I blame the sambuca and the lack of sleep the night before due to mopping duties :(

As for re-motivating yourself, do a house swap with me for a month ;)

Did you sleep in for your flight or what?
