Hosting provider suggestions.

Looking for new hosting company for my work. I took over the position of the last guy and the deal we were on was pretty poor TBH.

£170 / year for...

Currently
10Mb web space
0.5 Gb Data transfer per month
2 POP 3 mail boxes with unlimited aliases
CGI functionality
Unique uptime guarantee
FTP access

Which lets face it is piss poor. Now as I am going to be developing the companies I need LAMP.. none of this windows pish.

I need

PHP/mySQL
at least 1GB space
as much traffic as possible
Telephone customer support ! (not email or ticketing system etc)

I would like in addition
SSH access
Ruby on rails
Python
SSL
and all the other usual stuff they chuck in.

Not too interested in mail etc as we already have our own systems in place.

What are your recommendations ?
 
Piss poor, or not oversold?

100000000000000000000000000GB bandwidth with 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000GB diskspace for 10pence a decade FTWTBQFH. ;)

Cheers, I'll have a look into the ones suggested. Forgot to mention the servers have to be UK based !

Other ones i'm considering are..

1and1.co.uk
UK2.net

I only want telephone support so I can speak to a real person if there is an "emergency".

PMSL.
I was going to make a comment like that in my post above, but I didn't feel like it was needed ;)

My backup script rocks. My backup script + Cron == rocks not. ;)

mediatemple is the fastest host iv used ever, and some of my sites are easily on the first page of google from organic results. One is even at no1 spot in yahoo for a very generic search term so being hosted in the states doesnt affect anything like that!

I looked into using a US based host a lot before making the move, but i can understand the need to stop with UK based if its a company hosting!

I think your right Daz, i'm looking into it now and am so far liking bodhost.co.uk

They get good reviews, have 24/7 telephone support, choice of Linux OS's etc..
