THREADJACK-
after my webmaster mysteriously left the country without informing me, i need some server space that i can point about 6-8 domains at and that can shift about 20-30 gig a month bandwidth. i'm thinking 1and1.co.uk or mediatemple.com - but neither quite has what im looking for.
anyone know any good hosts?

1&1 is a definate no no!

?

1)VERY overpriced
2)Wont let you change dns for domains
3)Wont let you customise the packages

what's your budget?
is this for fun or business?

as little budget as possible...
...as its just for my personal websites (pubfight.com and crazymum.com amongst others)

I'd be very interested in your business recommendation
...if you wouldn't mind sharing?

I use a company called positive internet
for my business hosting. They offer a scale of packages depending on your business size and needs (they host streaming happily).

I have been with them 5 years and can recommend them. Their support is brilliant.
www.positive-internet.com

/edit They are equally PC and Mac friendly

Thanks!
I'll take a look!

Been hosting with DesignR (www.designrweb.co.uk) for a couple of years, but they recently changed hands. Ever since, the service has been awful :(

www.ukhost4u.com
25Gb/month bandwidth, 1Gb space, £35 per year inc. VAT. They made me happy!

Great prices...
but I've see quite a lot of negative feedback about them in recent weeks.

Woo!
After an hour of use my G4 Powerbook is so hot I could iron my shirt with it.

mine does the same, it makes your lap hot.
Still, I have not turned mine off now for over 4 weeks and it has never melted.
