I’ve had lots and lots of web hosts over the years, and these guys are the best by a long way. Excellent, robust, cheap hosting (I use their Cloud Hosting but they do dedicated / managed etc as well), brilliant support - not just quick responses but also intelligent people on the other end of the line… also a great, usable, beautiful control panel. They’re also UK-based which I know makes a big difference to some people. >> >> See http://bit.ly/T1Pa6L >> >> cheers >> >> Mike >> >> >> >> >> _____________________________ >> >> >> Mike Ellis >> >> Thirty8 Digital: a small but perfectly formed digital agency: http://thirty8.co.uk (http://thirty8.co.uk/) >> >> * My book: http://heritageweb.co.uk (http://heritageweb.co.uk/) * >> >> >> On Thursday, 6 February 2014 at 06:52, Andrew Stuck wrote: >> >>> Dear All >>> >>> I am in search of new base for the Rethinking Cities website as my present server host will terminate shortly. >>> >>> So we are looking for affordable MS ASP and MS SQL server capacity available immediately - if you can help (or know of someone else who might) please e mail our web guru Simon Sanders <[log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask])> >>> >>> Many thanks Andrew >>> >>> Andrew Stuck >>> Managing Director >>> Rethinking Cities >>> 07725555460 >>> [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) >>> http://www.rethinkingcities.net >>> @RethinkCities >>> >>> >>> >>> **************************************************************** >>> website: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/ >>> Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ukmcg >>> Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/museumscomputergroup >>> [un]subscribe: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/email-list/ >>> **************************************************************** >>> >>> >>> >> >> >> >> >> **************************************************************** >> website: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/ >> Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ukmcg >> Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/museumscomputergroup >> [un]subscribe: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/email-list/ >> **************************************************************** >> >> This email was received from the INTERNET and scanned by the Government Secure Intranet anti-virus service supplied by Vodafone in partnership with Symantec.
