Looking for server in UK
Hi,
a client of mine is looking for a server that MUST be based in the UK running Windows Server.
It should be a month to month basis contract (not a 12 month contract) and ideally unlimited bandwidth.
Intel CPU 2.4GHz+
2GB RAM
500GB HDD
Anyone know of any hosts that do this?
Price range: < £80
support must also be great.
Thank-you

You won't really find many if any 'unlimited' bandwidth deals from reputable providers as unlimited is general a gimmick.
You'll find plenty of decent providers with more than ample bandwidth allowances for most uses within your budget though!RackSRV Communications Limited

RackSRV's a good choice for starters. I've used them before, great network & uptime.
1TB isn't much. Generally most UK providers give 1 - 3TB of bandwidth, but there is the odd one which will provide less or even more.
Just to throw some names in the works -
UK2
PoundHost
RedStation
RapidSwitch

Most companies charge £10/month for Windows Web Edition 2008, and the hardware that you have specified should be readily available in the UK for £70/month. In fact, you should be able to get two hard drives in (mostly likely software) RAID for that price.
There are several companies that offer unlimited bandwidth, usually with conditions in their T&Cs. If you don't really need unlimited bandwidth, I'd recommend quality over quantity and choose a company that offer high limits, and have a good reputation for fast Internet connectivity.Michael Follett

I agree with you there. Really we are talking about 1TB/month to be honest - that would be more than sufficient.
But to find such companies based in the UK for that price range is tricky - i obviously dont know which companies exist hence why I am here

For something this spec with just 2GB Ram, http://www.rapidswitch.com/ we use to use a while back and they still stock 2GB Ram servers, they were quite good when we used them.

UK2 and Redstation do unmetered. Also Redstation will price match any offer (over £80) with double RAM.
