UK VPS Host
Hi,
I currently have a Windows dedicated server (3gb RAM/200gb) + Cisco FW with Rapidswitch at about GBP 160+vat and am looking to reduce this monthly outlay. I'm also paying another GBP 20 pm for some *nix hosting with SSH access. There is also a small amount of NAS storage for backup purposes.
The Windows server is not taxed, hosting a few low volume sites and runs MDaemon mail server. The *nix hosting is for some personal Wordpress blogs and a Drupal site - again low volume.
I'd like to find a solution that increases my resilience and speed/ease of restoring in the event of failure of the Windows OS etc
Hence I'm considering a UK VPS. Can anyone point me towards a reliable long term UK host. Rapidswitch have provided excellent uptime/service and I don't wish to compromise on this. I am unsure about their IOVPS "sister" site and feel this is not up to the same standard.
Thanks for you advice

Someone is going to think I work for them I recommend them to often but honestly for me racksrv.com will give you an absolutely solid service in linux or windows VPS packages.
I have used them on and off for years and you will struggle to find a bad review.█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

Hello,
Thanks for your suggestion, however I have tried to get hold of Racksrv 3 times today on the telephone without success.
Not being able to get hold of a company for pre-sales does not inspire me with confidence in their ability to respond to a tech support matter. I may be wrong though.
Are there any other suggestions ? I'm not looking for a cheap provider / reseller, just someone who is at the end of a telephone in times of need and provide a solid service.
Thank you

Linode.com or Futurehosting.com would be my suggestion. However in both cases I am not sure about the Windows requirement...

Hi,
Unfortunately Lee is off sick today and I was out of the office in a noisy environment so pre-sales phone (as we don't handle *any* support via phone) was neglected for 2-3 hours.
That said, as you called from a withheld number, we weren't able to return your calls anyway!

Hello Jon - Thank you for your response. However, I called from two different numbers, both of which display my number.
EndServer/Amitz - I too discovered that Windows is not offered at the other two suggestions :-)
Anyone else who can be recommended ?

I've got the phone logs in front of me, the only missed calls were from withheld numbers, the times for these were 12:38, 14:43 and 15:02, were these not you then?

EndServer - Sorry missed that post. Will have a look.
Jon - 12:38 & 14:43 are me. 15:02 is not.

Like I say, all of those 3 calls showed as Witheld/Blocked and hence I was unable to return the calls. Any sales tickets were responded to throughout though.

Racksrv are fantastic, bullet proof performance and quick setup.
Support is all via their portal, but again responses are very quick.
