Looking For A UK Host
I am looking for a reseller account. WHM and cPanel preferably.
UK preferably as I would like to pay via Solo card.
I currently use 1GB space and 5GB bandwidth.
Unlimited or at least 100 MySQL databases. Linux. PHP 4/5.
I noticed one, an overseller but anyone had good experience with them? - http://www.ecowebhosting.co.uk/

Maybe worth having a look at the offers forum?
Additionally, 1GB space and 5GB bandwidth is a small requirement that a lot of hosts should be able to fulfil without any problems. What is your budget for this?
Do you have any support specific requirements? Telephone support, live chat perhaps?
As for paying by SOLO card, I believe PayPal will accept SOLO, so you could expand into going with any UK host accepting PayPal payments. Personally however, I have seen a decline in places accepting SOLO so it may limit your scope if PayPal is not an option due to personal a reason..

Paypal is not an option due to an age reason. You have to be 18 and I'm 15. Simple.
As for costs, I currently spend £10 ($20) but I'm willing to spend more.
No more than £25 I would say.

You may be limited to choosing a host as I am sure most hosts just accept Paypal (and similar where you would still need to be 16/18 for an account). You will need to find a host that will accept UK debit card payments directly.
If that is a monthly budget for those requirements you should definetley be able to find a good host with change.

I believe Innohosting is a UK company. I am not sure what payment methods they accept though, they may only be able to accept a Solo card through Paypal. Rameen will need to confirm this.

Paypal is no good. You have to be 18.

Ok, my mistake. I might just put a couple of sites offline for a bit and use HostPapa for the main site till I can find something.

Another option would be PayOffline, I am not sure how many hosts actcually accept this though. Searching for something like " payoffline hosting " in a search engine may help with this. You would simply pay cash at your nearest shop that has a Payzone terminal. Hope this helps.

I've never seen one of them before so I'm not sure where I could pay it.

Prices are in Dollars which makes it harder for me to work out what I'm paying. It costs more for a UK server which is a downside. And you have a 5,000 word long legal section which you must read and you provide a text link, not even clickable.
However, it is a possibility for me.
Thanks, although the nearest one is an hours bike ride away.

Most hosts will take a cheque one way or another.
Solo card can be a problem as some banks restrict its online usage.
You can get a prepaid mastercard.
I saw them for sale somewhere in the past few days, probably when i was in London.
No idea what the charges are though.Formerly: Managing Director, Hostroute.com Ltd & Marketing Director, Ultraspeed UK Ltd

I don't believe that NoChex has an age restriction on people paying, So you could look for someone who takes nochex.
