Can anyone suggest a cheap, reliable, good service business hosting company with webspace, email, stat counting, logging etc? Cheers.

Pepperfish is run by some competent friends of mine, and is a nice no-nonsense place.

If you want screamingly huge bandwidths for sod all money, someone else I know is very happy with Topclasshost.

:-) A list of lists fitting various criteria, some searchable

These should help :-)

You want just webhosting, or a full colo?

What's full colo pls?

http://www.blackcatnetworks.co.uk - run by friends of mine and do almost everything from plain hosting/email forwarding to hosting my housemate's jointly owned colo server.

You should speak to James about that.. those are all services he provides..

cheap.
reliable.
good.

In my experience, you can only choose 2 of those 3.

Well, that's my opinion. Still, they haven't listened up until now, so I've no idea if they'll listen now.

Well, my company does all of the above apart from maybe cheap. If you drop me a line with what you need I can let you know if we can help :)

ISP?


This is a professional service needed so we can forget cheap. We've used in the past Demon, Amen and Via at present. The business is carried on via a call centre but increasingly via an automated full-on bookable website which is linked to a professional money taking service via the customers' credit cards and the bookings for the service will then automatically enter into the company's database. Our problems up to now have been:- expensive phone calls to technical assistance; web pointing failure for days; email pointing failure for weeks; server down; straight lying about status of any of the services! In addition to Alex' comments above we also need self administerable (is there such a word?) email addresses and ftp. I don't know what colo is?? Alex' Mother.

So, in summary, all of your friends know personally people who run ISPs.

I find that very revealing. :-p

I've always found Dataflame a good company, they've responded quickly to my (very few) queries in the past, they have decent domain management software, decent connectivity. Not exactly an expert on web hosting providers though.
