UK VPS recommendations

[Dayo]

I'm looking for a VPS in the uk I have a budget of about £20 p/m or £250 p/y just looking for any recommendations on who to go for/avoid. Thanks.

P.s. it's only for small sites with little trafic so don't need the best server out there lol

Generally speaking, for you a US based one may be cheaper (pound > dollar, conversion rate).

Not UK but just a short hop skip and a jump away.

Always a good place to look. You can also research on the company in question quite easily on wht.

I use both companies here:

I suggest cloud3k.com I been with them for 3months. Great service and the staff reply within 2hour max. Well depending on the time.

Maybe not so good for UK use though Skooda as they are based in Chicago 20 hops. Not bad though depends on the intended use.

RapidSwitch has a sister company which deals with VPSes.

But: Last time I tried getting a VPS from them they said they only do custom specs.

If you have the knowledge, you can also use Amazon Web Services E3, which is on a free-usage tier.

In the end I went with 1&1 gona be transferring over all my domains/files/DBs in the next week or so

EUKHost are solid and when I used them a while ago there support was second to none! You'll pay for it though.

Very bad decision, they have awful support who couldn't understand me on the phone. Considering I have a clear southern british accent I was incredibly confused.

Also, if your payment method has expired or generally fails instead of simply cancelling your account they will chase you with debt collection agencies and threaten you with extra charges. Not something I like to see in a company if I'm brutally honest.
