[ubuntu-uk] Virtual private server recomendations

[Darren.Mansell at opengi.co.uk]

I'm actually closing my VPS as we speak because I just don't need it
anymore. I started reading the reviews online about problems closing
accounts so I've decided to start the process now and I'll keep you
updated about how it goes.

Stage 1: Called them, waited on the phone about 5 mins from the first
point of contact through to cancellations. Person not at all pushy, said
he would email through a cancellation form to my registered mail address
and it would come through in about 5 mins. I will need to print it, sign
it and email it back as a PDF if I wish, or just mail it back. Waited
about 3 mins for the mail so far...

Ah now webfusion peaed my interest becuase if nothing else they are
cheap.
However a quick google for 'webfusion reviews' doesn't paint a pretty 
picture.
obivously though they have at least my happy customer

bitfolk also looked to be very good - however as noted they are so good 
they are out of capacity!




I've had to use support 2 or 3 times and each time I've got a
knowledgeable person on the other end of the phone who appreciated that
I could talk on their level. They told me how to upgrade the VPS to any
version of Ubuntu I wanted, what I could do with Virtuozzo and how to
enable and disable features server-side. Very impressed each time. I may
have just been lucky with who I got though!
