Default Business Hosting Recommendations

Hi
I am having serious problems now with my unlimited reseller UK hosting. The support is terrible.
I am paying £10 per month.
I wonder if anyone can point me to pay monthly unlimited hosting about the same price. Doesn't need tp be UK. Cpanel if possible Fast etc and reliable.
Thanks

I use Heart internet but it is much more expensive at with vat £44 a month although the first month is only £1 so it may be worth trying, the support is amazing and you can also take advantage of hostpay if you want.

OK thanks.
I think its the unlimited that attracts people sometimes.
What would be a reasonable amount of space for sites then?

I haven't used any of them, but the following UK hosts offer unlimited hosting for ~ £10 a year:
http://www.ecowebhosting.co.uk/webhosting/advanced (£9.99 p.m.; not CPanel)
http://www.unlimitedukhosting.com/ (£3.50 p.m.; does use CPanel)
http://www.top10bestwebsitehosting.c...FRRX4Qodgw0AMQ (list of 10 hosts)

As I said, I don't use any of them as I use a reseller account at www.obhosting.com instead, but they don't offer any unlimited plans

I still say you should give Heart internet a go, yes it costs more but just last night after midnight i put a ticket in and again it was answered in under 30 minuets, when it comes to unlimited space and bandwidth i have found there is usually a catch , i took a package not re-seller for my personal website with a company offering unlimited on everything except DBs only to find file upload had been restricted to 150MB which was not enough for what i needed the space for.
This is why you should never pay for the whole year in advanced give it ago and pay for one month then if your happy and want to save some money pay for the year.

Even that isn't always god... I was with OBHosting for about 4 months before I decided to go for the year - I was SO happy with them. Then a few months in I think it changed hands/had a huge staff overhaul. I felt that it turned really bad after that.

I am now getting happier with them again, but don't know whether to get another 12 months with them when it finishes (about 4 months time).
Really, unless they offer a really good price, I would be tempted to pay for 6 months at the most from now on

I personally use Ace-host.net, and am using them for 5 web hosting sites, all created with WebPlus (various incarnations upto WPX6)

I have had a 99.99% up rate and their help is absolutely 1st class.

Their security is topnotch, recently picking up a spam hack, they shut it down, contacted me immediately, and all was put right inside 30 minutes.

I go for the 3 year packages and have used them for 9 years now.

Hope this helps

Pete

They look quite good
3 times the price of my (ObHosting), but 3 times the space too...
