My hosting firm is playing up at the moment, and as we are almost using the 100GB limit per month, I thought I would see what is recommended at the moment.

My forum is relatively new, and only just over 200 members, but growing all the time.

I would like the hosting to be fast, with unlimited or generous bandwidth allowance, good control panel, and most importantly good customer support if things go wrong, as I'm fairly new to this

Cheap as possible as well.

Thanks

Dave.

www.gbservers.co.uk are what I use That, however, is for VPS and Dedicated Servers only.

Their parent site, www.dkhosting.co.uk, do resellers and standard web hosting as well as custom packages

I'd recommend them

there is not that much UK companies around... 90% of the UK hosting companies are resellers for the biggests like ThePlanet.com... this is the same for most of the non .com or .net companies... even vBulletin is hosted directly on ThePlanet... cost less at the end!

and like FRDS said, cheap is never good... cheap is cheap all around. pay for what you use... easy, you can browse google for some hosting names, you go see their plans, and you can evaluate your needs... also, the word "unlimited" is to ban... when bandwidth is unlimited, your server is capped so your visitors can't see your content faster... etc!

I too recommend www.eukhost.com. there is a person on the forum here that represents them (I think) and he is always very helpful to users who have questions, on this site, I can imagine how he handles customers.
