Anyone have recommendations for website hosting?

Onionsoilder · May 19, 2012, 03:51 PM

I want to create a professional website over the summer to display the game projects I have worked on, so I have been looking into finding a good host.

I plan on using the website primarily as a portfolio, so the ability to customize layout is important. I know Adobe Flash/ActionScript, so support for that would be excellent. I also need to have a contact page, the ability to host files for download. I need a custom domain name & accompanying email, so something like Google Sites is right out.

I was originally looking at 1&1 because they seem to have good pricing and an easy setup, but apparently it reads a lot more like a blog and is difficult to customize the layout, which isn't what I need.

Er, what exactly are you looking for? A web host just gives you space to host your own pages, they don't necessarily provide any "layouts".

I recommend either nearlyfreespeech.net or fusedhosting as web hosts.

Most web host providers I have found(such as 1&1 or iPage) offer a free website builder when you sign up with them. That is what I was talking about when I was asking about layout and such.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend any of those. If you want the website to be included with hosting, just with Google Sites or a Wordpress.com blog and point your domain to it.
