Simple content upload and management

and has a Web management interface that makes the hardware and OS platform "invisible"?

Thanks

Hi Clive,

Most hosting companies use "cPanel" as the web management interface. I personally think it is awful, but probably the best there is. It pretty much makes the hardware and OS invisible.

As I mentioned above, the "Fantastico De Lux" package then add loads more applications which you can install at the touch of a button. This combined with the more limited range of applications that cPanel offers would easily meet all your requirements.

There's loads of providers that offer this combination. I''m not in a position to make a recommendation. (At least, not yet – maybe if I ever find one that I like myself...)

You might want to start here... Wouldn't have thought this is anywhere near an exhaustive list though...
