the base package seems pretty ok really... plus optional ssh access

May the force be with you. Because you're worth it.

Or I might even just drop the quota down a level, with dropbox and free online storage available, you can use that to share files and just use webspace for websites.

ATM I have the 4u hosting plus plan, 1gb and 4 mysql databases. Overkill for fitzbilleh really.

4uhosting.co.uk sorry.

My webspace is up for renewal in june, I think I'll probably change, I've seen others at half the price

I use 4u-hosting.co.uk it has been solid and good, but I think it may be a bit expensive now for the amount of space you get.

I'd go for high space and lower bandwidth as unless you're making a big site you won't get many hits.

go for linux (apache) hosting, and 1 mySQL database (you rarely need more than 1) if you are making any sites with things like drupal, wordpress or joomla or any "active site" where content changes.

I liked the old srcf hosting where you could SSH directly in to the server, I don't think I have that with mine.

Sooo... I really should make myself a website, does anyone have any recommendations on hosting?

btw, uniXKCD.

@alex: yeah it is, and it is Cartesian in the video. Rich just used time as an illustration.

@rich: loved the 2D/3D analogy - very nice.

Oooh, and my HTC Desire arrived today

Doesn't 4d normally refer to the 4th Cartesian dimension rather than spacetime?

eg. a 4d hypercube is to a cube what a cube is to a square.

Love the family guy ref

In 3D there are two rings which (unless you are Jesus in Family Guy) cannot be made to intersect without being pushed through each other.

Now imagine the 4th dimension as time... Each ring only exists in the lower three dimensions for a limited range of times. Initially both rings share the same position in time so their 3 dimensional structure prevents their intersection, to get round this you can just move one further forward in time, where the 3 dimensional struture of the other ring is no longer present, move the ring into the 3D position at which it needs to be, then move it back in time so they are intersecting in three dimensions at the same time point.

It is exactly analagous to two rings of different sizes in two dimensions. It is impossible to put the smaller ring inside the larger ring in 2D without making the lines intersect, but by moving one in the third dimension (where the other ring isn't present) repositioning it, then moving it back onto the starting 2D plane it is trivial to put one ring inside the other.
