    OK this is something that gets asked alot but its a while since i looked around and as i have just about cleared all my clients now i am probably going to move all my sites aswell and am thinking of a new host.

    So who do people think are worth looking into over the next few months?

    Im going to need either a dedicated of a VPS solution, although the number of ip's might be a problem for VPS as i also need ssl's

    cheers

    I just moved a lot of sites to Clook on a 'Reseller' package - no problems at all, transferred everything across from cPanel hosting with very few problems.

    Support is brilliant - it's a small company and you get through to one of the two or three people responsible for running the servers. It is, however, only 9-6 weekdays as you might expect.

    nuBlue as far as i am aware are not a small company.

    however they have a dedicated team for support (we have exchanged emails with around 4 people up to now). they have a very good internal system which logs everything

    their support has been brilliant to say the least. everything get a response same day. issues are dealt efficiently and quickly.

    Well, compared with a company like 1&1. Assuming they all turned up for the photo, there's 12 of them:

    Still, size doesn't matter, our new websites are with them
