Can anyone recommend a good UK service provider for Dedicated Servers?
-
Hi, we have just had a shocking experience moving from shared hosting to a dedicated server with a very large service provider. Our website slowed down, the server has been down more times than up so we have moved back to shared hosting until we can find a supplier that can deliver. nightmare!! If anyone can recommend a good company it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Rackspace is one of the more expensive hosts around. They simply aren’t meant for most budget site owners. But by experience, Convergent Internet Solutions offers the experienced technicians and reliability just as Rackspace does. They just offer it with more of a budgeted mindset “customer first attitude”.

Good call Keri , thanks ! We are UK based so I will amend the original question

What country is the target for this website? Your profile looks like you're from the UK. If you're targeting people in the UK, you might want to specify that, so we can help give you recommendations that better suit your area. If possible, you generally want hosting in the country you're targeting.

Personally, before I worked for Convergent, I had been using Convergent Internet Solutions for over 5 years.
Nothing but good things to say. It’s nice to know who you’re working with, when you can ask for a tech by first name, or giving an client number. I would call Chad, Rackspace is awesome, but really expensive. -
I've been using GoGrid for 2 years and very happy with the reliability and service. In my opinion they are chipper then Amazon when talking about the full bundle(Load balancers, CDN etc..). They usually have a 100$ free trial so you can try them for a full month

+1 for Rackspace. Very good uptime + super quick and dedicated support.

It depends alot on your needs and budget:
Rackspace and Amazon are good when it comes to reliability, but dedicated is VERY expensive. If you are okay with the cloud they both offer this and can be quite reasonable.
I like Rackspace as you have a little more wiggle room and it is a little cheaper than Amazon.
What are you needs/requirements in a web server?
w00t!

How to handle pages I can't delete?
Hello Mozzers, I am using wordpress and I have a small problem. I have two sites, I don't want but the dev of the theme told me I can't delete them. /portfolio-items/ /faq-items/ The dev said he can't find a way to delete it because these pages just list faqs/portfolio posts. I don't have any of these posts so basically what I have are two sites with just the title "Portfolio items" and "FAQ Items". Furthermore the dev said these sites are auto-generated so he can't find a way to remove them. I mean I don't believe that it's impossible, but if it is how should I handle them? They are indexed by search engines, should I remove them from the index and block them from robots.txt? Thanks in advance.

NOFOLLOW Links: Can we 100% ignore them for SEO purposes?
Some SEO articles say we can completely ignore NoFollow links. Other articles say they still matter - but then are very vague on what they count for or against. So which is it really? I do realize that they can provide traffic, and for that they are worthwhile. But it is SEO I am asking about... The SEO purpose I am most concerned with is the Link Profile. Separating the Follows from the NoFollows often gives really different anchor text distributions. If they don't matter, why do MOZ and other SEO Analysis programs still include them in their standard reports? (I can see some benefit to having them as part of the in-depth reports) So what's your thoughts? Can we 100% ignore the NoFollows for our SEO analysis?

Rankings drop in UK and AU but not US
After the last Panda update on Jan. 22 my rankings dropped significantly in the AU and UK but not in the US. We operate in UK and AU and not the US so if anything the rankings should be the opposite (which also obviously would be preferred) Any ideas for why this would occur?

Can I crawl a password protected domain with SEOmoz?
Hi everyone, Just wondered if anybody has been able to use the SEOmoz site crawler for password protected domains? On Screaming Frog you are prompted for the username and password when you set the crawler running, however SEOmoz doesn't. It seems you can only crawl sites that are live and publicly available - can anyone confirm if this is the case? Cheers, M

Server Vs Authority
Deciding on whether to go for a Sub directory or CC tld structure. So the tradeoff would be one server location (which can affect local rankings if the server is outside the country) VS a better passing of link authority. What factor is more important?

Can I redirect a URL that has a # in it? How?
Hi there - My web developer is saying that I can't do a URL redirect with a "#" in it. Currently, the URL is actually an anchored link within a page (which the URL indicates with a #). I want to change the content to a new URL, but our website links internally to the old URL, so we would need to do a URL redirect (assume 301). Can you tell me if this is possible and how? Thanks!

How to extract URLs from a site (without bringing the server down!)
Hi everybody. One of my clients is migrating to a new ecommerce platform, and we need to get a list of urls from the existing site to start mapping out the 301 redirects. Usually, I'd use a tool like Xenu or Integrity to crawl and output a list. However, the database and server setup is so bad that it can't handle the requests from these tools and it sends the site down. This, unsurprisingly, is one of the reasons for the migration. Does anybody know of a way to get a full list of urls without having to make a bunch of http requests which will kill the site? Any advice would be much appreciated!
