[geeks] Good, Competent UK Managed Web Hosting?

[Mark Benson]

Looking for a new web host. Our existing hosting company has just  
dropped the ball big time on us. Total Schoolboy error too, didn't  
dump our DB to file before doing a MySQL upgrade and corrupted it  
irreparably. Admittedly we should have had a backup of it too, but  
when you do an operation like that surely you should at least make  
some kind of effort to avoid total disaster?!

Anyway, need a new host, we won't be taking up for 10 months as we  
have a contract to run out but I wondered if anyone had any good  
recommendations. Must be UK based with UK datacenter(s). I already  
know about Rackspace, they rock but they are out of our price range.  
We currently pay about 1800 GBP/pa +VAT for our services. I'd pay a  
bit more but I don't know how far the boss man will stretch.

I'm also looking for someone else doing good, multi-domain multi- 
account shared hosting. I resell my current hosting to several non- 
profits as an annual donation, so I will need to be able to setup  
multiple accounts and domains for different websites. I pay about 9GBP  
inc. VAT a month for my current deal and get 2GB hard disk + 30GB/month.

Thanks for any suggestions!
