It might be a long shot but what about adding a section for services needed so people can ask for things?

Was looking I need some hosting so was going to come through here but there is no section

good idea, think the site needs to expand a bit more first, but definately one for the future!

EZPZ Hosting, awesome, tickets answered within 15 minutes (I raise a lot of tickets lol) and have never had any issues! They rock!

For the time being, just simply ask any future requests in the general business forum.

Personally, I'm a Planet hosting devotee. May be US based, but customer service, response times and general costs are fantastic. Believe they now have a datacentre in London as well, so may look to put future servers in there.

Ahh but the fact still remains that UK Hosting helps your SEO, for UK sites, I could see why with your other interests though.

From our experience, its a wifes tale matey. Its now geographic based, which is done by URL. If you have a .com you can over ride in Google using webmaster tools.

IP location makes little difference anymore. Thats why we moved UK MLS over there. We even get a better transaction time than when it was hosted in Manchester, our hosting costs are 50% cheaper, and up time has been 100% and support is exceptional.

SEO wise, indexing and traffic has increased, and traffic is 85% UK origin.

Very true, I have geo'd my domains, but did not know that it overrode settings for US/UK servers, you know more than me on that!

Cheers buddy! You learn something new everyday! A UK Host must have started the myth!
