Re: [ubuntu-uk] [OT] Datacentres outside London
Maybe its time for a data centre in rural Herefordshire? We do have the BT Madley station just down the road... *Breaks out the roll of cable* Mj. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I'd recommend against FastHosts in Gloucester, as their customer service is abysmal. Star Internet in Gloucester are a sister company to the MessageLabs IT security empire and excellent. Although they have London datacentres, you can specifically request to have your kit based in their Gloucester Barnwood datacentre. http://www.star.net.uk/star/home/hostingoverview.stml I'm biased since ML are my former employers. You might find a warm fuzzy glow from knowing that MessageLabs offices in Gloucester host the Gloucestershire Linux User Group meetings (do come along, next meeting 21st Oct evening), providing us with free seminar room, free coffee and blazingly, blazingly fast free wifi (ideal for downloading distro DVDs, and yes they really don't mind). I have a Virtual Private Server hosted in BlueSquare in Maidenhead, Berks. It's west of the M25, but not by much. I'm based in the Cotswolds and connectivity has always been superb. http://www.bluesquaredata.com/ My VPS is through CheapVPS, part of Verio: http://www.cheapvps.co.uk/ http://www.vaserv.com/ Server, should you wish to run ping tests: isis.aoakley.com Sample 10 meg file stored on my server: http://www.aoakley.com/misc/novellini-bowser-20070724-1800.3gp The server runs Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server. -- Andrew Oakley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
