Anyone here based in the UK??
 
Im wondering if there are any of you based in the UK with your VBulletin Forum and if you host it in the UK also.

Which hosts do you use?

I'm based in the UK, so is the forum, although the server isnt (its a 1&1 server, physically in a German DC)

Im looking for alternative host server to host our forum. Currently with Nimbus in the UK. Someone suggested one in the states which was much cheaper for much more specs.

Whats the one you are with like? are you happy and would you be cool to share info? would be hugely appreciated!

We have a dedicated 1&1 server, and have been using these for the last 7+ years.

We have never had an real issues. Im not really sure what information you are after.

The model we have isnt available anymore, but its a Quad-Core AMD Opteron 1356 with 8GB RAM (It was known as the L4).

Our site is UK based (well Northern Ireland) And we use URLJET We are not a massive forum by any means, but I/we have been with a few hosts and URLJET as been the best by miles.

What are the others you've tried?

Disco_Dave 06-17-2014 01:41 PM

Ipage and hostgator. For the money you're spending on your host now, I think you could do better. I wouldn't care if it's hosted in the UK or US

I had a look at the link Paul M put up and it also looks like good value.
