Re: UK Hosting? was BBS / mini social network network software

You seem to be looking for shared hosting, but if an (unmanaged) VPSS takes
your fancy, then bhost.net is surprisingly good for the price and is hosted
in the UK.

It's not that I've got anything against the former colonies - but I already
have a site hosted in Florida, and although packets go back and forth at
around half the speed of light (I measured it - how sad) the latency is a
killer.

they don't tell you where it's hosted / don't give you any choice in the

before, but not for web hosting - but they don't explicitly say their
datacentres are in the UK. Anybody used any of them?
