Hi- I'm a newbie here.
I'm a web site designer and I've been running a small company for the last year making small sites for small businesses.
To date, I've been arranging hosting for my clients through Amenworld for a simple domain with free hosting space- and whilst this has been OK till now I am considering changing the process.
Firstly, I've been advised that using a hosting company outside of the UK is detrimental to my SEO efforts- is this true?
Secondly- I have used one.com in a couple of cases where clients needed database and php capabilities. They are cheap, but I am nervous that they have bad reviews wherever I look.
If you're a web designer- who do you use? Or do you have your own hosting platform? How does this work? All advice, very welcome. My website is at http://rubyfruitdesigns.com
By the way- I'm talking CHEAP- Amenworld charge £10 for the year and One.com charge £20, so please bear this in mind!
Thanks, Claire
