Greetings Again,
I have currently been using a company called Donhost.co.uk for my reseller hosting. Does anyone have any background info on them? Any good, bad, indifferent...anything?
I have had pretty good service so far, but they are located in Europe and that poses a little problem as far as getting support.
Thank you...

I haven't used them. But the search (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=) function of this board reveals this (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=375530&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending). They have been discussed often.

Donhost has a very large thread from about 2 - 3 weeks ago. You might want to read them all before making your selection.

I would not recommend them from personal experience, have a read.

theyre imfamous round these parts. its certainly a case of know what your getting into before you take the plunge.
they have a history for terminating accounts before they reach their service limits. terminating accounts without warning for breaches of their strict (read totalitarian) terms and for generally not acting in the most professional manner.
however, their servers , at least while they were in telehouse, were very fast and for uk bandwidth they are cheap. beware the unlimited diskspace, as we know it doesnt exist.
im led to believe they have recently restructured and moved their reseller servers from telehouse to their own dc using leased lines. this is going to be slower and not have the same bandwidth available (not burstable as fast, they have 14mbps total to their dc i believe and this has to support colo servers as well), plus it wont be in a top of the line dc.
this isnt meant as a flame, merely as a condensed reiteration of the facts previously stated elsewhere. if im wrong please let me know :)
