Good website host?

Options
I’m looking for a hosting/domain registration company; currently using Switch Media for several sites, they are very good but I want to stop putting all my eggs in one basket…..

Could anybody suggest a host who will provide -

Anonymous registration
Web hosting sufficient for forum and/or blogs
Good stats reporting
UK call centre (easy to get through to/staffed by people who know what they’re talking about)
POP3s
Minimum server distruption/downtime

As mentioned, Switch Media provide all this and more and are very good, but I would like to spread things out a bit more.

Many thanks
Wren

    I very much doubt you are going to get all of the above for free, so think you may have problems with the anonymous registration bit.

    Thanks jamalfatty
    Wasn't looking for a free one though, they are usually more trouble than they're worth. I need good robust hosting for new online business. I'm not sure that I mean anonymous registration either, just don't want my name and address to come up in WhoIs (like some of my current ones do). I really hate my details being published on the internet!

    I think you can choose to have your contact details omitted from the whois database if its a private registration, if not, just have it registered to your host.

    They are quite pricy, but MediaTemple are one of the best hosts I have ever used.
