Hi chaps,

Any recommendations for web/server hosting? I'm after a LAMP server to run a wiki (specifically MediaWiki), photo album and a few other random bits.

I don't mind whether it's managed or whether I have to set up everything myself. The thought did occur to me to build a super cheap HTPC and use that as a server at home on my DSL but when I work out hardware, electricity costs and the like it doesn't seem worth it?

Cheers!
 
I have been using VPSLatch for a few years (US-based servers as they are cheaper) and have been very happy with the service for $19 a month.
 
i have always used heart internet in the past, so i dont really have anything to judge them against. but i have never had any issues and their ticket support system has always been good.
 
Vidahost - unbelievable service since I moved there. Very quick turnaround of tickets and they go out of their way to help if they can

Hrm, these seem to have good write ups. Will do some more digging, thanks!

Cheers guys for the replies. :D
 
on a side note to heart internet, i had 1 year of reseller hosting for £1. you get the first month for £1 in their offer, then after that i said i wanted to end it. they asked why, i explained because i didnt feel i had the time to invest in it properly, so they gave me 3 months reseller package free. this period ended, so i contacted them again to cancel, and the same was offered. this went on for a year or just over, until i decided i wasnt ever going to really use it so refused their generousity. something i now regret lol
 
Depends what you want. I have a dedicated server from www.kimsufi.co.uk 13.99+vat a month for the cheapest server. Hosted in France, which is the only downside.

Does the job for me, I run a radio station, 3 websites, emails etc. from it :) - worked out cheaper for me to do it this way.
