London, UK - Where ?
Hello WHT,
Our game server company is looking to expand into London, UK, so we are looking for a reputable company on a top of the line network that offers dedicated servers as well as co-location.
We would be needing dual quad cores along with 8gb of ram. Pricing isn't a huge concern but we perfer if we could keep the pricing around 250USD to 350USD or at least have the chance to speak with the host regarding lower pricing.
Kind Regards,
Derek.

Hi Derek,
Have you tried looking in the "offers" section on here?
A few good and reliable providers would be easily found based on previous similar enquiries. Just a few things to be aware of - most of the UK based providers will require a 12 month contract (the reliable ones anyway) - this is what helps keep their pricing and service level stable not to mention the bandwidth costs here!
How many servers were you looking to get in total? (or to start with), and how many on an ongoing basis - this also might be useful in pointing you in the right direction.Intellitech I.T. Solutions Ltd.

We have yet to test the waters in the UK but I am sure we would start with 1-2 and see how it goes and if we like the market it would probably add around 1-2 more a month. I would also never do a 12 month contract on a dedicated server as I feel that is insane and there sure has to be hosts that do month to month. Of course if it's colocation long contracts I'm fine with.
Thanks.

I highly recommend Poundhost - poundhost.co.uk
They are part of Blue Square Data group who have datacentres in London and Maidenhead. Their network is fantastic with low latency across the UK and the rest of Europe.

Their prices look pretty steep to me. However, I have never used a dedicated server company that was based in the United Kingdom. So, I am guessing that it may be a bit more expensive for them to run datacenters there...

UK2 looks pretty good. I have never used them but I do see their banners on WHT quite a lot.

Perhaps you may want to consider OVH then?

I am talking to Kevin at UK2.com so let's hope he is able to provide what I need.
I am also still up for other suggestions in regards to hosts. Thanks.

Hi Derek,
We have just done a clean up of some of our uk2.net email addresses that were historically free. People had been forewarned that they had to today to renew them or they would be disabled. Of course, a few thousand ignored the message so we are ringing off the hook.
Would you like to PM me some details and I'll get someone to call you immediately.
