Hosing provider recs

[Pondlife]

Current hosting provider is taking the proverbial and so am looking for somewhere new.

Need MySQL so linux based I guess (?)

5-10 websites

Reasonably robust. Don't get much traffic yet but I want it to be online when someone does visit.

Is 1and1 still the housewives favourite?

Who else is there? Willing to pay about £100 per year.

There are a number of virtual server providers out there. £100/year won't get you much, but assuming the traffic to these sites isn't high you may not need much. Providers to consider are:

Gandi
Linode
Bytemark
Contextshift
Rackspace
VPS247

I use 5quidhost. Outstanding service so far. And reasonably cheap.

[biondani]

My personal preference is Ariotek

I'm still using 1and1 and they still seem fine

I would throw Vidahost into the mix, an excellent host I have 4 or 5 websites with them on their basic £17 a YEAR package, their support is excellent which is why I stick with them and recommend them where ever I can.

I also think I have a 10% discount code if you want to PM me

I have had dealings with Rackspace before, not cheap but I think very good (quite high pressure sales staff though once they get your contact details)

I use a virtual server from Webfusion which has proved ok so far - I needed a windows box to host a demo version of a plan b product and they were good value, but I have no complaints about the support

[cojak]

+1 for Webfusion.

I use a company called Superb who have lived up to their name, they are cheap as well (from $4.99/month if you sign up for 2 years) and all their plans include unlimited traffic. I've also had dedicated servers through them. The only "downside" is they are based in North America, but I haven't found that to be a problem in practice.
