UK Based Web Hosting - Thoughts?

[Modmedia]

I need a suggestions, for a CHEAP, reliable host for a small site.

I will need a .co.uk domain included, and AT LEAST 5 POP3 email accounts please. Bandwidth; not really an option, anything above a gig would suit nicely.

Cheers

A question for you, bud.

Does the company have to be in the UK? The reason I ask this is because it's now fairly common for across the pond hosting given the cheaper market in the US. It's just one of those things because east coast servers can provide fairly good connection times and fast speeds across the distance.

That being said, you may want to take a look at http://www.unitedhosting.com/ as they are UK-based company. I've never personally used them, but I am familiar with them and they have been around quite a number of years now.

Might be for SEO purposes I guess.

I found 4uHosting to be extremely good, especially when compared with other similarly priced services in the UK.

Trouble is, its £30 a year (ex. VAT) for 10GB of transfer. Now don't get me wrong, the company is excellent; CPanel, extremely fast, stable connection and there were never any problems, but in the end, the price was too high for me.

It is worth having a look at http://www.hostroute.co.uk/compare/ .

Personally I would say for a UK focused site .uk , hosted in the UK is the way forward.
