Default 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?

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!

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.
