Question I have an ecommerce site and I am planning a few more. I need a reliable web host with 24/7 tech support and several domains allowed (not subs), 2G space, 10G bandswidth.
I have checked lots of hosts and decided on Hostmonster but as my site is co.uk and my customers are UK based I have read and been told that using a US host can affect my UK search engine rankings. Can you recommend 1 or 2 UK hosts as most that I have checked so far have several bad reviews and are more expensive than the US
Thanks
Phil
Answer Hi Phil,
The only UK based webhost that comes to mind would be http://www.fasthosts.co.uk, personally I have never used them but have heard only good things about them. If you need any more suggestions let me know I'll try and find a few more for you.
