Does anyone have any recommendations for a UK based VPS? Preferably running some flavour of linux...

I like these guys:

Thanks, but VPSColo is a US based company. It's dead easy to find a reputable US based company with decent prices but I'm not familiar with any UK based...hence the post ;)

Look, I know this is a dumb thing to say to another webbie person, but have you googled?

linux vps uk

seems to pull back quite a few places that should be worth a furtle. Just e-mail 'em and ask for reference sites.

Ah.

They also have uk based servers if you want (mine is in London) and they're definitely UK based. - they just wanted to attract US business I think

just ask for Rus and mention my name.

;o)

thanks Boldfish! I had heard Rus was this side of the pond but I didn't know you could specifically request servers here!

Hey Boldfish Rus said:

We are planning VPSColo in the UK however I'm afraid that at the moment we don't have any firm dates for when the rollout will be complete as we are still working on data center contracts

Are you sure you're on a UK server??

Yep.

try a tracert to www.boldfish.co.uk

;o)

I'll speak to Rus and email you directly.
