Recommendations for UK-based VPS or reseller hosting

Posted 17 years 6 months ago
- I'm looking into getting a *nix VPS or a reseller package of some sort...but with so much choice I'm looking for recommendations.
  
  I'd really prefer one that allows branding of the control panel; no real prefs of the control panel, but I do like (and am familiar with) cPanel and eXtend.
  
  Must be UK servers.
  
  Cheers
  Dan

- Why is there a need for uk servers?
  Hostnine have superb fast servers in america that load fast in the UK
  Also, I belive Rochenhost has servers in the UK, though you better check and ask

- Because most of my clients are in the UK, and I'd rather have them UK-based to maximise speed, and to ensure that support is at least in the same time-zone.
  
  Didn't know Rochen had a UK base...will check it out, ta.

- Get a UK server from a US host(assuming there is one)....take advantage of your strong currency!

- A guy I know has a site called hosting for a quid.
  
  We were talking about a Joomla specific setup a while back. He is more than open to negotiation deals with people.
  
  Will find the link and get back to you.
  
  Found it!
  
  www.hostingforaquid.co.uk/
- www.ninjoomla.com - The Ninjoomla Open Source Extension Club
  Over 50 open source extensions and 100 videos to you build the site you want.
