Best UK vB Hosting?

[olivercookson]

Hi,

We currently use a windows server at Rackspace to host our vB forum as that is what our main site runs on. That is of course maybe an overkill in terms of cost.

We are now looking for a solid UK linux server to host, it doesn't need to be dedicated as we have no more than 100 concurrent users, but we would prefer a "semi-shared box" if there is a such thing. It needs to be very robust, good uptime and fast. They need to have a great reputation and solid history of performance. Happy to pay that bit extra for that.

Not sure if any hosts offer this, but a "managed service" would be great. Where they do vB upgrades etc...does this exist?

Any ideas?

Thanks

100 concurrent users is not a huge requirement. You can even consider a VPS for hosting your VB forum.

I too would recommend you visit www.globalgold.co.uk. We've been with them since 2000 and their service is outstanding. They also have many different packages, giving you the choice of making sure you buy the best plan per your requirements. Global Gold will also help you migrate when you're ready to upgrade. They are with you every step of the way.

Good luck with your project.

GlobalGold cope with my 4,000 on line admirably, so another vote here!

[Alex@MK3OC]

Another vote for Global Gold from me, speak to Tim there and he'll sort out what yoiu need with no hassle

Add my +1 to that GlobalGold recommendation
100 concurrent would suit a VPS fine IMO.

I'm sure they'll help with the vb upgrades too if required.

Just a quick thanks from myself, your answers to olivercookson helped me a lot as well. Wasn't even aware of Globalgold previously.

olivercookson, your requirement is not big at the moment a mid range VPS would be enough at the moment.

What's a vertical host?

[AVC]

A web host that is a web host, not a web hosting & SEO & Design firm & a domain reseller, or a hosting reseller for that matter.

Pretty poor when you see NameCheap offering this for £5.41 month (10p a month extra)
