Hi,
I am looking for a reliable managed VPS host which has servers/or is based in the UK. I am transferring a high traffic site, and I'm looking for recommendations for a host offering the following:
-Managed VPS
-Reliable servers
-Good support, with native English language staff
-U.K. based data center
Any suggestions for hosts would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone had experience with clustered.net as I have seen they have a package?

I believe rapidswitch have just released a VPS range.
http://www.rapidswitch.com/VirtualServers.aspx
I CANNOT guarentee thats its 100% managed, as i don't use there VPS services, so your best to contact there support.
They currently have some offers on at the minute, starting as low as £1 + VAT i believe.
Let us know how you get on.

I recommend SolarVPS for your UK VPS:
http://www.solarvps.com/dedicated-uk.php
I think the coupon SAVEMONEY is still valid for 50% discount.
(see www.solarvps.com main page)

Just to clarify what DedicatedBox said about the SAVEMONEY promotion. That is for the unmanaged plans. The managed plans have a different promotion.
Thanks!

Oh sorry, the link I gave points to a dedicated server page, lol.
I meant this: http://www.solarvps.com/linux-uk-vps.php
instead of the dedicated servers... it's only a difference of like $120

I'd totally unrecommend Implihosting. Srsly.
I joined them, the service looked to be sweet. Sam is a nice chap to speak to.
Then they suffered a HD crashed blamed ME (saying I was being DDOS'ed) and lost everything.
Implihosting do not do any backups.
Fortunately, I had a back up available of my forum database, but everything was lost. All the files, everything. Totally to be avoided.
I asked for a refund as I'd used just 9 days hosting and had lost everything, they refused saying they "don't do refunds".
USE IMPLIHOSTING AT YOUR PERIL.

Were you looking for cPanel or just general Linux management? I suggest you ask the provider what they do and don't support, there are many misunderstandings about what 'fully managed' means.

Oh right, I'm sorry to hear about that. I've had a few reports about loss of data, I'm going to speak to Ash tonight (the MD of Impli Hosting) and see whats going on with it all, but when I was with them it was all good (about a month ago).
Also as far as I'm aware, they've bought a new server for VPS's (so surely this is a good thing for the company)?

Alan,
I see our support tickets are open for help please use it. Going around every forum speaking bad of us isn't a problem to us, You can carry on so. But maturely let's do this via tickets/e-mails.
Thank you, Ben [ImpliHosting, Solutions]
