Hi All

I am looking for a domain hoster that will redirect email reliably and 
quickly.

I have a domain that I basically only use for incoming email which is 
forwarded to me via whichever ISP I am using that year. (Currently 
NewNet who are very good).

The hosting is currently done by Free Parking who often have delays and 
occasionally have a 24 plus hour delay and lose the odd email.

I am having a lot of trouble finding an unbiased source of information 
on hosting companies. Ngs with hosting in the name seem to be full of 
companies doing their advertising.

Can anyone recommend a good company or a good place to look for information?

Sorry to have to ask this but when replying please say whether you have 
any connection with the company. Sadly I have found elsewhere people 
plugging their own companies without disclosing their interest.

TIA for any recommendations. There are loads of sites comparing ISPs but 
hosting seems to involve a leap of faith.

I have two domains hosted with Daily.co.uk

So far I have found Daily to be very good.

I have no connection with them except as a satisfied customer for the last 8 
months.

Rgds,
Joskin

How about NewNet?  They do hosting and domain registration as well as
their ISP business. 

I use them for my ISP (as you say, they are very good) and have now
moved my domain hosting and registrations there as well.  No complaints
at all about the service.

The only downside is that they have a transfer-in _and_ a transfer-out
fee for domains (and quite a high one IMHO) so that might put you off a
bit?

No, I'm just a customer.

Many thanks Ian. I have moved my email forwarding to NewNet and so far 
it is working very well. Such a good ISP that I had never actually 
spoken to anyone before. Impressed.
