Harry,


     I only host in the states now and have done for a while.


    I find the UK hosters to be lacking in the most basic necessities 

like quality support, value for money, uptime quarantees. 

     You just dont get that in the UK.


     The current comapny that i use give rediculous amounts of extras and 

for a cheaper price.


     Obviously the must be some well dodgy US hosters, but i have never 

had any trouble.
