UK Hosting companies any recommendations please
-
Hi i am asking this question again as not had much resonce with the other question. We are urgently looking for a decent hosting company in the UK who offer managed hosting. We are looking for a dedicated server that can handle forty sites or more.
Can anyone please let me know if there are any good hosting companies in the UK for joomla. I have researched a large number but they all receive bad reviews so i thought i would ask on here again and see what other people are using
many thanks

I have looked at Firstserv but there are no prices. 1 and 1 has been recommended to me Keri, but the trouble with 1 & 1 is, a lot of joomla people do not seem to like them although the tech guy does, but when i researched them, they got a lot of negative feedback.
On a cost point of view there dedicated servers are a good price but because i am not technical when it comes to sorting out databases it would cost me more in the long run. I have also looked at 123 reg, Tsohost, go daddy, and united offer less memory etc for much more than i am paying at the moment.
The sites have been put there for the time being so they can be worked on in the near future, none of the sites will be similar, they are just there at the moment, waiting to be worked on.
I am seriously thinking because i cannot find a suitable hosting company to spend a few thousand pounds on having my own server at our office and then employ someone so many hours a week as this seems the better option.

You might ask the Joomla person you hired if they have recommendations, and also if maybe the 40 sites shouldn't all be on the same server? That would really depend on your server configuration and the types of sites, but that's something to consider too.
Some of your sites are near duplicate of each other last time I looked. Maybe as you move servers you can just redirect the duplicate sites to your main site and that can save you some time on setup and reduce your duplicate content.

Hi, never had any problems with Tsohost.
Good luck.

Check out Firstserv. You can always reach them 24/7 on the phone. They always seem happy to help.

Affiliate and Earning Disclosure help please
Hello Moz Friends, I wanted to ask about affiliate terms pages. I'm assuming that if I have an affiliate banner where someone clicks on it, and I get a penny, that I need to have an affiliate disclosure or some sort of link saying that I make money. I'm know is some legal ground here, but just curious if this is how the concept works? Thank you so much!

Is there a Joomla! Component For A Blog Page That Is Recommended?
A business partner currently has a page on a Joomla! website that is passing for the blog page. I am not a Joomla! guy so I dont' know much about it. I do know that I don't like a lot of things and prefer Drupal however making a change to Drupal on that site is not an option. We need to upgrade the blog page so that it is more like a blog and I know there has to be an SEO friendly component for a Joomla! blog page. Any ideas?

Recommended Website Monitoring Tools
Hi, I was wondering what people would recommend for website monitoring (IE is my website working as it should!). I need something that will:
Web Design | | James77
1/. Allow multiple page monitoring not just homepage
2/. Do header status checking
3/. Do page content checking (ie if the page changes massively, or include the word "error") then we have an issue!
4/. Multiple alert possibilities. We currently use www.websitepulse.com and it is a good service that does all the above, however it just seems so overly complex that its hard to understand what is going on, and its complex functionality and features are really a negative in our case. Thanks0
