As per the title, I am looking for a dedicated server which is going to be required to host and web based application.

Can anyone recommendend a provider that they have had good experiences with, offers value and is reliable with good support?

Thanks in advance.

www.2host.co.uk - Adam will sort you out perfectly

Unfortunately, for the spec I need this would cost £300/month plus a set up fee which is not particularly competitive.

Nice plug, but it would appear you don't even offer dedicated servers.

I might just do that.

Does anyone have experience of http://www.hosting.com solutions. They seem to be partnered with dreamhost (which is recommended) when it comes to dedicated servers.

lol, must have missed it.

In any event would prefer to go with a UK based company.

Good processor, 2gb ram, 200GB+ hard drive.

true, but when you start upping the ram, etc. to a decent amount the price quickly increases. I have emailed 2host and will make a post on the forum mentioned, as I see they actually responded to one post which a much better price than quoted on their website.

To update, I've decided pretty much on www.2host.co.uk, subject to tieing up a couple loose ends via email. The correspondence I have had so far is good and I can only find positive reviews from various sources.
