My current employer is looking to move away from 1and1 due to their poor customer service and extended downtime. We currently use them to host around 200 different domains (don’t ask why…) with them both being our registrar and our host. We would like to transfer both the domains and the hosting to a new UK service as quickly as possible.
Money isn’t much of a problem for us, as we are currently paying around £100 a year and wouldn’t mind paying that a month for the best possible service. We would require updated versions of PHP and as many MySQL databases as possible. If possible, we’d also like a PostgreSQL database and Python support. In addition to this, FTP and SSL support would be great and a huge added bonus would be Git so we can deploy straight to the server from our test environment.
I’ve not purchased hosting for quite a while now, and to be frank I’m not sure where the best deals are for UK based sites. Typically, I would go with the likes of Bluehost, Dreamhost and MediaTemple, although to my knowledge they’re all hosted in America. We’ll also need support in transferring our domains and working sites over, so any service that can provide this would be welcomed.
What would you guys recommend for a good price and great UK service?
