I am about to build my first wordpress site but where to host? I am in the UK so it seems to make sense to use a UK supplier. This is for a very simple site and I hear that as I do not have my own servers using a providerthat offers Fantastico cPanels is the way to go.

Recommendations?

I use JustHost.com and they have Fantastico in their cPanel and that's how I installed. It's so easy to use. I would make sure to get a host who provides that! I had to help a friend manually load via FTP and it was so much messier.

Host gator
Or you can use my hosting I am a hostgator reseller and I will set your wordpress up for you for free.
I have clients in China, London, Scotland, Australia, Canada and all over the world, no problem.
I only offer hosting to my own clients, so you get the personal touch and I have my own Virtual Server, so I am not sharing it with a 1000 other people. I have remote support and phone of course.
I only charge 95.00 a year.
It comes with a full cpanel and fantastico.

Hi Linda,
Is there a strong market for your service, I have a UK reseller account, msSql,asp, mySql and php with the control panels but I only use it for my own domains at the moment, I was thinking of expanding offering hosting and a service for adding elements from my tutorials to themes for a small fee, for the people that do not want to code, but as many associate 'WordPress' with 'free' so is it worth it?

email me you thoughts please

I wouldn't recommend the host I use (unnamed) since it supremely suck. I have also heard good things from people I trust about justhost.com.
