Good hosting site to use for adsense in the UK

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by spik3yb0i, Jun 11, 2007.

    Hi all

    i want to have my own domain and i plan to use adsense and i was wondering who has a good recommendation for web hosting. The most important thing is that i want a UK company because of all of the ridiculous security measures that US companies take when a foreign person wants to purchase something.

    Thanks

    now a days yes. If we take the US based DreamHost for example, they've had people do all sorts of crazy things (rub, sign, fax) w/ credit cards to ensure it's not fake. But not anymore. I think they accept paypal now.

    I (and many of us here) believe that statement came from another planet in another galaxy because who does not know Hosgator being one of the best web hosting providers on Earth.

    Go with a host in the USA. Thats what I do even though I am in the UK. They are much cheaper than their UK counterparts.
