Personally I'm with www.oneandone.co.uk and they're pretty good for UK/Europe. They have masses of connectivity and lots of servers, so I'm getting good connection times out of them.

We have had terrible feedback on vBulletin.com/org about oneandone :/

why exactly?

Heh heh heh - I've heard plenty of complaints about 1&1 holding onto client domain names - not one I'd touch with a ten-foot pole.

As for lunarpages - their idea of spurning vBulletins is very odd - but they do otherwise have an excellent reputation.

That one reason in it self should be a reason to avoid them.

Horrid control panel fopr anyone outside the US and TONS of Domain issues.

Not to mention their server hardware is subpar

They have a new control panel now. (updated recently, can't remember when.)

The only trouble I had getting a domain released was after one of my customers screwed up and managed not to pay his bills to them, they locked his account and he couldn't transfer them out... which was hardly their fault. They released them in the end, that's the main thing.

I've always found that they've dealt with my queries quickly and satisfactorily, so in short, I'm satisfied and will continue to use them in the future.

I currently am using godaddy.com with excellent results. I've needed to use their technical support a few times and the response time is excellent.

I've also used cedant.com in the past. Cedant is a little bit pricier for their product but also provide excellent support.

I recommend onehost.ws for those who would like pretty much unlimited everything for a cheap price without support from the staff, I use it myself and am happy with it as I can manage my site without support from the hosting staff, this is not a host for beginners

I would highly recommend www.mxhub.com if you are looking for reliable and long term web hosting needs. I am happy to use their service for the control panel is very user-friendly and i get to install any web scripts instantly using fantastico. One more thing is their support ROCKS!
