  Lee E. asked:

  A website related question folks. I'm currently with EukHost and although the service is very good, the performance of their shared hosting isn't the best. I've looked at the Godaddy Ultimate shared package as I've got a number of domains. Can anyone comment to provide me with either a good multi-hosting provider (preferably UK based)? I'm after hosting of 10+ domains, some with email, and need unlimited on most features if possible. I'll also be using linux hosting for php and sql.

  I'm with MachineNetworks - I'm very fussy and apart from a data center migration last weekend, I've seen very high uptime since 2007. I have had physical servers and VPS over the years, but as my needs have shrunk, a good reliable reseller package has been a good fit. http://www.machinenetworks.co.uk/ As always, it will depend on your needs, I've got a few online stores, a couple of DJ website and my wifes photography site. cPanel hosting is pretty common, and that does allow easier account migration between systems (run a full account backup to get the SQL databases, emails and website files) I'd personally avoid unlimited features. I'd prefer a guaranteed amount of storage and bandwidth for my account. This is also important for the other accounts you're sharing the server with. Unlimited storage and bandwidth is usually open to abuse and you do not want to be sharing a server with others that abuse the system. I'm also still with my host as they provide good support. Whilst there has been very few problems, occasionally I'll add a new phone/laptop for email and mis-type the password. Their system will lock me out (thinking I'm trying to crack the password), and this requires a support ticked to fix. I've done this at various times of the day (ie 3 am, 7 am and 10 pm Sunday). Its resolved within 10 mins. From experience, I avoid non-UK servers (so german/us servers) which do slow down during peak times. Support is also very important to me. Hope this helps!
