    I have never heard of them but had a quick look.
    hosts like this are a good quick fix solution if you just want a web presence.
    similar sites to this that are good and i have used are http://www.Moonfruit.com and http://www.wix.com.
    the main benefit is they have their own inbuilt software. so no web development software or any real skill set is required.
    its pretty much drag and drop features and they are added. double click text and change, etc etc etc.
    they allow purchases of domain names and varying levels of monthly and annual subscriptions too. cheap at that!
    Their "hook" so to speak is more, if you plan to leave, you have built your site on their software, so you cant just "take your site and leave" setting up with another host. well not unless you want to start building your site from scratch that is.
    they are not the answer for everyone but certainly a good cost effect start-up for a small business just wanting to get a nice easy to maintain site on the web.

    I have never heard of them. I used wix.com and got a domain name super cheap on go daddy, so the hosted by wix doesn’t show up on my pages. Wix was super easy for me which was good as I have no experience with that type of thing, and they were pretty reasonable.

    There templates are limited, and i found i always used to come across sites that look exactly like mine with a different colour 8). With WIX theres loads of templates and to be honest looks a lot cleaner.

    Our website used Word Press (free to download and install on your server) and our hosting is with a UK based host, they’re cheaper than 1&1 who we were using, and their support is far superior.

    We purchased a theme from theme forrest and I spent a few hours messing about getting it to look right.

    Perk is that we have full control over it all, our domains, e-mail, webspace, etc.
    Drawback, it’s a bit of a learning curve.
