RE: Domain Hosting

["Chris Bond" <chris@xxxxxxx>]

It's not an issue where the server is located - its reliability and
good
service from your isp you need.

As an isp (O2 Hosting Solutions), we choose to host our servers in the
states for lots of technical reasons.  The main one is there service
is
second to none over there as they have a large in house technical
knowledge and there after-sales technical support in general are
excellent.

One example of what you wouldn't get much of in the uk is our
collocation in the states center had one of there 1GB fibre links cut
overnight and without any notice of downtime it automatically re-routed
onto there over 5.5GB backbone.  You get this at some isps like
xcalibre
as they located in redbus, but you'll be surprised at the number of
isps
that sit at the end of a leased line that's no resilient.

Just thought I'd put my two pence in (nothing new)!

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond

The one I use is www.xcalibre.co.uk - possibly not the very cheapest,
but I
found their technical ability second to none, and their help for me as
a
novice was superb (I am not affiliated with them in any way)

I have used them for my dads website, and my defunct personal site.
Some
of
the cheaper offerings I looked at host their sites in the states, you
really
want one with servers this side of the pond.
