Advice/Help!

Hello everyone, im a newb. Lol, well I am to these forums, anyway..

I just need some advice on what colocation provider to go with (In London - Docklands are like 30mins away from me =D) Yeah, i dont know which colocation company to go with, i dont want to go direct because some of the prices i've seen (Especially with redbus.. £400 for 1U!)

Hence my request for help! What im looking for is pretty simple, nice support, excellent uptime (Hopefully it isnt that hard to find.. is it?) and bandwith should be 100gb/month with easy 'top-up' prices.

I'll be colocating a 1U and possibly add more during my time at whichever company i go with.

Lastly, i've been VERY tempted to go with 49pence.com, they're colocation prices look suitable (I think) but has anyone got anything which i should reffer to before getting CoLo'D!

Thanks very much!,
Rohan Malik.

You could try posting in the requests forum and you'll get some competitive quotes from those that hang out on these forums.

Glad you're interested in colo'ing with 49pence, I can put my hand on my heart and honestly say we're the best company around for requirements like you have.

I think we're signing clients up for services like this faster than anyone else on this board, and I know there's good reason for that. I wouldn't have said the same thing a couple of years ago, though, as I think there were better companies than us then. But now, I think we're the best.
