thanks for the reponses, i still on the pre-grid system (SS) and the reason I ask is to see if the old problems had been resolved...looks like thats not happening tho.

On SS here. Haven't moved, won't move and next off I'm gonna go with a UK host. Dunno why just feel liking helping my own. Little like Sainsburys and it's "local food" :)

I switched to http://www.mosso.com for my client sites, but still hold a (dv) dedicated virtual server with mt, which is running great.
They're a good company at heart, and I've met some of the people that work there - they're genuinely smart and dedicated. I'm sure they'll sort any niggles out in time.

I dont feel the need to be too patriotic considering $2 = £1 !! but also cant risk being let down. Have you found a true UK host Dancer - most I have seen are just reselling services from bigger European providers

I use dreamhost, and left (mt) also. At the time their only offering was $20 a month which is way too much for my small site. A month later they said " oh we have grid light" I transferred 4 of my clients off of mt to dreamhost.
I am super happy with dreamhost.

We actually just cancelled our mosso account because of consistent downtime. We had 3 dev sites on our account and one live (low traffic) site. Amazing support, service sucked. We actually just switch to mt w/ a mysql container and haven't had any issues except for slow load times.

Re: UK hosts. I also have a VPS with http://www.34sp.com - a company that work from Manchester with space in a datacentre in London.
They're an excellent company and also do shared and business packages - give em a shot!

Max, I haven't really looked into who they get servers from but the last one I signed upto for a client was http://dc-hosting.com/ I only went with them because my asp developer has used 'em before and he knows how there system works.
Having siad tht there site is very slow on my peuny (?sp) 56k. But I have had No problems with them

i havn't had any issues in while
cheapest way to run a rails site of any size for me
i would probly wait tho, if you had stuff that would cost you money if it was down for 10 minutes
although, i got one intranet site on there and they have never complained about it not working

- woodyBatts0
consistent problems.
main thng for me, email server in and out all the time.

if your using sql + php you will encounter long waits! which really pissed our clients off, then us and then we tried our best to piss mt off. So we got a few free months to try out a dedicated virtual which is sweet and we're transfering all our other accounts and credit to that one... Support is pretty useless still - esp with plesk...

honestly how many times do I need to see the same emails(or multiples of the same emails)?
- mrdobolina0
why bother?
- mbr0
The only reason I've stayed with them is that I have 100gbs for $20 month.
I haven't had a problem in, what, about 2 weeks now?
The old hosting they have (not on the grid) works fine.

I moved to a VPS so it's not really a comparison (but still much more reliable). Best advice I can give is to find out who you want to go with, then spend some time and read all the threads here - fairly honest experiences and reviews...

Been using (mt) for 3 years. I was very happy using the (SS) but then I migrated to the Grid last month.
