Hi Guys,
Hopeing one of you may be able to help out with some sugestions here. Were looking to change hosts as our present provider is charging us £70 a quarter and won't even allow more than one database (Inweb.net). Were based in the UK which is where we get most of our trafic from so a uk host is prefered.
Have spent the last couple of days trying to find a reputable comparision site but no luck. So if any of you have any experiance dealing with the UK market please post.
Looking for a reseller account with at least 10 site capasity, quality provider not budget.

Cheers guys and happy new year :)

We're using uh-hosting.co.uk to host our UK and europe traffic. I've never had a problem with them and the prices are pretty reasonable.

They seem pretty fast from the UK, although we're based in Australia so the uploads can be a bit slow.

In all, I'd recommend them.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly it looks like they are already resellers of someone elses services. Dont realy want a resellers account from a reseller, but thanks for taking the time to post :)

No problem. They own their own servers and offer packages to resellers. We signed up maybe 4-5 months ago and I remember being impressed that each server only appeared to host around 30 or so sites.

Just to clarify ..

We own our own servers, racks, network etc .. for the following of our services:

Co-location
Dedicated Servers
Unix Web Hosting (Reseller and Shared hosting)

We currently resell the following:

Windows Hosting (ASP)
SSL certificates

Our reseller hosting is not a resold reseller service of someone else :)

Yes, I am also looking for UK based hosting.

Currently, I am having a dreadful time with my current host www.web-mania.com
My site is going down daily. I was promised 99% uptime! Its an absolute joke. The worst service imaginable.

Admittedly, its a cheap service and the old saying you pay for what you get comes to mind!

However, I did not mean to choose a budget set up. It was merely that I needed a host with servers in the UK for SE rankings. So I now have great SE rankings with intermittant service.

So any suggestions (from experience ONLY) would be welcome please?
