Hi.

Have run a search on the group with no joy, currently in the market for  
some hosting but would like it to be UK based. Any recommendations?

I have two VPSs with Bytemark for 15 quid each a month.

Not the cheapest, but I’m _very_ happy with the service. I also get to  
manage all my own DNS through them.

I’m using a VPS with Bytemark with no probs (Debian Sarge). They’re  
currently running the VPSs on user-mode, but I’ve heard they will be  
soonish switching to Xen. Which would be nice.

I have been using a Bytemark VPS for just over a year. I am very  
please with them and their level of support.

They even give you a discount if you are a registered charity !
