any recommendations?
so far we're looking at
http://rackspace.co.uk who seem exceptionally good, any others??

they are one of the best. especially since if you have no previous relationship with them, they treat you with the same top-notch service as if you had been there for years.
vero professional and do what they say. otherwise, maybe try a smaller shop you have used before and work out a plan or get a rec from them. the smaller outfits are all about the relationship, IMO.

ive had exp of them over the last 8 yrs and the shared service hasnt been good, the company has been sold twice and moved data centres twice too - its just been moved to oslo. i heard the dedicated side was sold to another company in london but i dont quite trust that info

I just had a quote off them - I was just sharing as they were a bit cheaper than the other..

1and1 and actually (eventually) delivered a dedicated root server to one of our clients (you know who undo).
So far so good. It's a root server though - and 1and1 actually bow out of all support. If you're happy to administrate your own server - it seems like a good budget choice thus far....

hell - if you can afford rackspace though - it's a no-brainer.

ive heard pretty good things about 1 and 1 ....as a contrast to what i heard a few years back....and a problem someone told me about with them shutting down a site due to an unsubscribe feature not wrking
also read alot of good things about these guys (dv) http://www.futurehosting.biz/ but dont think they are UK based

Yeas that was me maxi ;)
I've never personally had a problem - they were very slow and lacking in information while waiting for this server though.
Their support is VERY hit and miss though.
Helped me in about 30 minutes to get Cron jobs working the other day - that was a rare display of helpfulness.

(Jul 2 07, 04:50)damn, that is crazy service.
i am suprised a person there went through helping you w/ getting Cron job running as that us typically one of the reasons why you want a dedicated box in the first place...

Well that was on my shared hosting package - not the root server.
