Here's my story. I'm in the process of reviewing European based webhosts in the possibility that I might use them at some point in the future. I switched on green lights for a giant project that will have to be hosted in Europe even though it will be addressing overseas market, too. I haven't got much chance to do an extended research on this matter so far, as I'm more dedicated to development. However days are flying fast and I might end up short of time which I would avoid if possible. My requirements are easy to put on the list: - Well established companies with a solid background - Dedicated server, speed and performance crucial - Own Data Centers, no reseller based webhosts - Must be able to provide support in English I'll draw a line here, stressing on the fact that I am not hoping to get offers right now, I'm more into reading either positive or negative reviews from you. I've been around for quite some time, so I'm not really new to hosting. I also know that prices in Europe are higher than they are in the US. Higher maintenance costs or whatever reasons, I have to live with that. I'm sure this might be useful to others sometime, so I please you to throw in your two or three cents you might have. When you give a name, I'd appreciate a few background facts and notes. Oh and don't drive away from my requirements. I know there must be few companies to cover them, well I need to hear about. You'll surely get greens for your input, only please let it be information that I and others interested could use for future reference. Thanks a lot in advance!
I moved october last year after some 8+ years of US based hosting home to EU based hosting and use http://www.hetzner.de/rootserver.html for my root server I am very pleased with all - HW/OS/SW and service and above all the prices are extremely low as well. an additional benefit for moving from US to EU hosting may wait for you as well
