[Scottish] Quality, low cost hosting

2002-11-12 Thread Ritchie Logan
Hi,

Been a lurker for a while I'm doing a network for someone as a sideline,
and need some advice:

Sorry for being a wee bit OT, but I do remember this getting discussed in
the past. can anyone recommend a good, low cost host for a small site
with not a lot of traffic, ideally with either mail forwarding or a pop3
box. Do I remember Black Cat Networks being mentioned, and either being very
good or very bad??

Thanks for any comments.

Cheers,

Ritchie

I could certainly recommend Hostroute.co.uk.

http://www.hostroute.co.uk/hostingplans.html

I've got the Linux 200Mb Disk space option (9.95UKP/mo), and have been very pleased 
with it.

I've contacted their support for relatively silly reasons (my own mistakes) and have 
had a prompt service each time (even on Sunday afternoons).

It's a shared Linux box, RedHat IIRC, and you get ssh access.

Richie,

Check out ukshells, http://www.ukshells.co.uk.

I used them for two years and they gave a great service.

Thanks,

Allan

Black cat are excellent from what i've heard, but don't do hosting as
such (afaik) they just do rackspace and bandwidth.

Excaliber seem to be fairly reputable, i know they have some staff on
this list and from what i can tell they are fairly competant and have
competative prices.

Uklinux also do hosting, as do (I think) Ednet.


There are also a number of people on #scotlug who will happily host a
small site off the back of a cable/sdsl line if its not going to suck
bandwidth.
