Re: [ubuntu-uk] Virtual private server recomendations
I would recomend tagadab vps hosting. I've been using several of their smaller packages for almost a year now and haven't had the slightest of trouble. Their support staff over the phone are also very helpfull. http://www.tagadab.com/virtual-private-servers It looks like their VS1000 package would suit you very nicely, it comes in at £39.99, but it might be an idea to try out one of their smaller packages first to see if they suit. - Kenny. 2009/11/26 dan attwood danattw...@googlemail.com I'm starting to look at the possibility of gettting a hosted virtual private server for a project I'm working on.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Virtual private server recomendations
Hi, I have used cheapvps.co.uk for a few months now and they have been good, they are also updating their service at the moment. I used a code to get extra RAM, and their support has been ok. Used to use webhosting.uk.com, but they kept messing with the node and rebooting all the VPS's without telling me.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Virtual private server recomendations
I'm actually closing my VPS as we speak because I just don't need it anymore. I started reading the reviews online about problems closing accounts so I've decided to start the process now and I'll keep you updated about how it goes. Stage 1: Called them, waited on the phone about 5 mins from the first point of contact through to cancellations. Person not at all pushy, said he would email through a cancellation form to my registered mail address and it would come through in about 5 mins. I will need to print it, sign it and email it back as a PDF if I wish, or just mail it back. Waited about 3 mins for the mail so far... -Original Message- From: Darren Mansell Sent: 26 November 2009 15:07 To: UK Ubuntu Talk Subject: RE: [ubuntu-uk] Virtual private server recomendations On 26/11/2009 14:56, darren.mans...@opengi.co.uk wrote: Personally I've used WebFusion for years with no problems.
