    Hello, I'm looking for hosting in the UK and need some help.

    I have around 8 UK domains that I would like to host in the UK, and I'm having a difficult time on what to decide on.

    I'm thinking of going with reseller hosting in the UK for two purposes:

    Seo - Since the website is targeted to the UK market, I thought by having the website hosted in UK, the servers will load the website quickly. Plus all of my competitors host there websites on UK servers

    Protection - In case one of the websites get hacked, the others will not get affected since it is a reseller package. If i just had normal hosting with 8 websites on that account, if one gets hacked, all get hacked. and it might be terribly hard to manage.

    Thats my reasoning, and I could be wrong or too paranoid:eek:. thanks

    UK prices are too high, i went to the USA for my hosting and i pay $30 a year, thats way better than £5 a month in the UK, PM me and ill pass on my host to you.

    Hi Ruworth, thanks

    Did your changing servers affect your rankings on google? Do you host multiple sites on your hosting account?

    I also noticed that UK host companies charge abnormous prices and offer modest conditions. But if anyone knows some good hosting there, I am interested in this information as well :)

    I recommend you try this: Uk.webhostdir.com. There you will be able to get few names for consideration.
