Is there any on-line Website service which is offered for a reasonable fee?

I have come across an outfit in Seoul called Internet Brothers,
but it seems like they're going to be expensive.

one of the most important thing in hosting business is experience.
They are online since 1999 . That is a long time. Good support

I don't understand why you want a Korean server. The internet is location neutral.

A lot depends on the type of website. A video streaming service would benefit from being closer to the source.

A very simple website, with a few images etc. won't benefit much (fractions of a second). There are a lot of different ways to optimize your website's speed, having your site closer to source isn't usually that effective.

You could also think about hosting some of your files on cheap Korean servers.

I use Mireene for all of my sites. Their shared hosting package is awesome, and great unless you have very high traffic. The basic package is something like 1Gb storage, 1Gb daily bandwidth. It costs w22,000 per YEAR!

I run AFEK from one account, and my blog from another. The only time I had a problem was when I posted a GN'R review last week and it got linked all over the world. I had thousands of hits and it sucked up my bandwidth, but I had 3 bandwidth reset tokens to use. One of them cleared my daily bandwidth instantly and it was back to business as usual.

22,000 per year. Nothing comes close, and you can upgrade (double your bandwidth for 2,000 per month, etc.

Now... it sucks for email (1 address I think), but you can have GMail host that for you and get 50 email address @yourdomain for free. Awesome value for money!

I should add... the site is all in Korean, but you can sign up with your foreigner ID number, and you can pay by bank transfer.

I've gone through a lot of hosts.

Right now, I use Rackspace Cloud, Amazon AWS, Fluid Hosting and Site5 for my English sites.

If you're going to be hosting a site targeted at Koreans, you should have it hosted in Korea. If you're going to have a site targeted towards Americans, host it in America.

I've been through a lot of hosts in Korea (Gabia, Whois, Smileserve and iHeart) and if you're on a budget, I would recommend Smileserve's CoreHost product.

An important note is, you will have to know how to manage your server on your own (it's not really that difficult but takes a bit of time to learn). Plans start at 15,000 won per month. You don't have to worry about PHP memory limits or issues you get at other hosting plans at that price level. It's like having a dedicated server from the standpoint of being able to configure everything to your needs. On the downside, it is almost completely unmanaged (you will have to know what you're doing or be willing to learn).

If you have a bit more money to spend, I have a dedicated server with iHeart and haven't had any complaints thus far.

I agree with you about the design.

I know this company for a long time , I have a number of sites hosted by them.

[jeffbright]

I agree with you I think they need to care a little more about the design .
Because people just see a website design and unless they use a service they do not know

I have a few sites hosted by them right now and very satisfied.
