    Looking for a new webhost

    With all of Gradwell's issues over the last few months I am considering a change of hosting company.

    Budget £100-150 per year.
    Single .org.uk domain.

    Must haves:

    UK based hosting with top tier transits.
    ODMR mail access.
    SSL secured webmail.
    IMAP access, secure if possible.
    SMTP(S) relay.
    MySQL 4/5.
    Secure shell access.
    Full DNS control.
    2 to 4gb combined web/mail storage.
    4gb transfer per month.

    Any ideas?

    TIA.

    ones to avoid from personal attempts at hosting with them.

    hostpapa and the 300 other names they trade under. (once the problems fixed they deny there ever was a problem)

    streamline.net (really bad uptime and database servers do what they want)

    at the moment i have VNC to a dedicated pc for web hosting for the games company i moonlight with and downtimes now my fault

    I've been with QIQ for a while pretty good host, I think they do most of what your looking for, usually get some discount codes aswell
