05th October 09 – UK VPS

I’m going to be starting a UK VPS provider in the next few weeks. I’ve had a few requests for UK VPS hosting lately. We’re going to be using the XEN technology, and hosting out of UKSOLUTIONS and RAPIDSWITCH, both of which are excellent UK Colo Providers. Simple signup and payment process, fast activation and an entirely unmanaged/automated service is what I’m ultimately aiming for. I’m hoping for positive benchmark results and guaranteeing no overselling. Unlike a lot of hosts, I’m also shooting for good fast access, rather than an ‘unlimited bandwidth’ plan, that you can never use more than 1TB/month on due to the slow speeds.

Ultimately, I’ll be moving for automatic payment/provisioning, and allowing the user to change plan at any time, without any manual intervention from an admin side. A  VPS/OpenVPN service is also not out of the question. Currently, we’ve got the support resources to attend to these things quickly enough, but instant is always better than quick!

Any requests, comments or ideas greatfully received on what promises to be a great UK VPS host!
