Web hosting

I currently host a number of websites using a Fasthosts reseller account. Due to illness I have been unable to work for sometime and the reseller account is becoming an expensive burden.

As I intend to close down my hosting company I am looking for an alternative cheap hosting option for my customers. What companies do people suggest?

    How much are you paying a month? VPS with Plesk at 1and1 start at £15
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    We don't know what 'cheap' is unless you tell us how much you spend now and what facilities you need :)

    My reseller account with Heart costs me £30 a month much better than FH as well.

    How much traffic do you generate you can get limited free accounts from Heart limited size/bandwidth etc but for some small sites its quite handy

    I am currently paying £50 +vat per month on Fasthosts. I am looking to close down the web hosting business so I am looking for hosting packages that I can transfer the customers over to and let them run from there.

    The main features are the options of linux or Windows hosting with php or asp support and e-mail with smtp hosting if required.
