    I've found something that seems too good to be true:

    If it sounds to good it usually is. I recommend searching and reading about overselling at WHT. This is the biggest web hosting forum. I recommend you search any provider there before buying. If they don't have a review there, it is probably best to avoid them.

    I can also recommend ASO. I'd still be with them now except I moved to Linode because at the time ASOs VPS plans hadn't changed in a few years

    I haven't checked on the VPS lately, but there was some noise about it being upgraded a short while back, might be worth checking the forums over that. Additionally, I am under the impression that ASO do not oversell, which is comforting.
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    I use www.hostsphere.co.uk for all my sites.

    Can't fault them, essentially a 24 hour service.

    They are also doing a valentines discount where you guess the discount which has something to do with Valentines Day.

    Wow mate, £20/year for unlimited space? I've unfortunately come to be sceptical of such offers... it's the case where I say "sounds too good to be true". What domain and hosting do you have with them, and how long have you had it, if you don't mind me asking?

    Okay, even after some speculation, worries have been lessened since speaking to Alex at HostSphere. For now, I have gone with the free account at HostSphere.

    Thanks to Steve for the recommendation, and Alex at HostSphere!

    Free....I'll have to speak to Alex about that! He is a gem though. Any problems and they're sorted.
