If you are new to the hosting world, this simply shows the path it takes to get from one point to another point over the internet. It hits OpenTransit and then Verio.

Good luck!

I've talked to David over ICQ a couple of times and so far he's always been able to answer my questions in a timely manner and he seems quite knowledgeable. I've not hosted with them yet but if I could afford their reseller plans I'd sign up in an instant (yes, I'm really that poor :D).

Thanks for your help, I'd be hosting a .co.uk web site at ukname, which I probably will do, could you please help me with two points.

a, does UKName have a UK based IP address, as I need this with my .co.uk site.

b, my pages all about 30K in size and I get about 2000 hits per day with 4000 page views, would a 5000mb bandwidth cover this. Plus my page hits may go up to 5000 per day depending on google.

I think this is where you actually contact the sales dept. of said company with your questions. :) I believe UKName have most of their servers in the US though. But then again I'm not sure and you'd better contact them directly.
