    I don' t know what rackspace pricing is like, but yes, I'm sure there are plenty.

    Cheapest doesn't not always mean good though of course, so be wary of very cheap pricing and look beyond simply how much bandwidth etc is being offered.

    The following are good people to deal with:

    http://www.ukdedicated.com/
    http://www.4dhosting.com/
    http://www.securahosting.com/

    (The first two primarily UNIX shops, the latter two Windows).

    1 and 1 traffic offered is pretty poor

    One thing to be wary of with Rackspace is that they seem to harbour more than their share of spammers and many of their IP's are listed with spews etc.

    You might want to speak to tham about this before ordering and insist on clean IP's that haven't been listed (and double check that they haven't once you receive them).

    Rackspace in UK (I believe) are servers in US...perhaps someone can confirm this. Rackspace is much more expensive than usual, but you can get someone on the phone at all times. A great plus if you need a lot of phone support.

    Rackspace do have their servers in the UK, at IX Europe, Heathrow. Coincidently, IX Europe also provides all their connectivity and a lot of their support functions (that was the case at least a year ago). Rackspace used to operate in the UK pretty much as a Sales machine, everything else was outsourced. I’m not sure this is still the case (but their sales staff outnumber all their other staff – maybe this shows what they are really fanatical about?).
