    Does it have to be UK based? If not then US based:

    That's an interesting company, thanks for that.

    Ideally UK based, so currently giving WebFusion a try, as they have been far more professional so far...

    Very annoyed and disappointed at 1&1, the features are essentially mis-advertised - first and last ever dalliance with that company.

    The saga continues!

    1&1 can't map the domain properly ,so they are out.

    Turns out WebFusion only host Sharepoint 2 not v3 (which is required). Pity they don't mention this on their website...

    So they are both out.

    I'm not sure Register One do virtual sharepoint hosting.

    We need virtual hosting (around £15 to a max or £20 per month) for SharePoint 3 with proper domain mapping, full user control etc. We can't afford a dedicated server at hundreds per month

    Any others, especially with recommendations of good service levels, customer service.

    I'm a little nervous choosing a US host (the domain for the site will be .co.uk), am I right to be cautious?
