Hi Chris,
We have a Catalyst app, several Java based monitoring apps and some
other apps running on Bytemark's Big V basic (£12 a month inclusive of
VAT) VPS offering.
They seem to work fine. The Catalyst app runs on its own VPS as do each
install of the Java App. which is OpenNMS installs. As long as your
requirements are low (which they seem to be) they work well enough.
Linode's UK offers are also good and are a Perl company so they
understand Perl well - Bytemark seem to be Ruby/PhP.
Both Bytemark and Linode seem to have clued-up and helpful devs and have
freenode channels on irc so you can scout them out and have a chat
before visiting web portals and customer mangle-ment.
Hope this helps.

Hello
This is not actually a technical request, so apologies if I shouldn't
be asking this here.
I'm hoping some of you can recommend a host - I've got my site to a
point where I need to think about putting it online somewhere. It's a
rewrite of a current site, which I wrote 10 years ago when I was
learning Perl and that does a maximum of 500MB bandwidth a month, so I
don't think I'd need any more than 1GB to be safe, but I don't know
what sort of server specs I ought to be going for with a database
(MySQL) driven site (my current one uses dbm hashes).
I've had a look at the (Google cached, as it seems to be down at the
moment) hosting page on the Catalyst wiki and most of the reviews
aren't very recent, so it would be handy to know if there are any
up-to-date recommendations. I don't necessarily need UK based
hosting, but something that's reasonably responsive for UK-based
visitors. My current site is hosted here: https://krystal.co.uk/ - I
have always been happy with them, but the requirement to move to VPS
to host the Catalyst app means I need to shop around a bit - their VPS
costs don't seem to offer as much as some of the others.
This is a local sports league website, so I don't have a huge amount
of money to play with - I think I can persuade them to spend about
£10-15 a month.
Thank you in advance.
Chris
