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!

Can I set a canonical tag to an anchor link?
I have a client who is moving to a one page website design. So, content from the inner pages is being condensed in to sections on the 'home' page. There will be a navigation that anchor links to each relevant section. I am wondering if I should leave the old pages and use rel=canonical to point them to their relevant sections on the new 'home' page rather than 301 them. Thoughts?

Link Building Stragedy can anyone please give me advice
my site is www.in2town.co.uk Hi i hear a lot about having a linking structure in place and a linking stragedy but i am not really sure what i need to do even though i have spent months reading about it. What i have been trying to do is to link as many of the pages within my site to the home page and i am now looking at linking pages in my site to around my site to different pages, just like <cite>en.wikipedia.org</cite> So when i have a story on cheryl cole, i will make sure that i link from that story to another story i have on cheryl cole etc. But i would like to know what else i need to do. For my home page i want to rank for the following keywords Lifestyle magazine Lifestyle news celebrity news celebrity gossip showbiz news soap spoilers I would also love suggestions for other keywords i should be aiming for, for the home page. I find it hard as my site is a magazine site, so i do not have many places to put a description of each page of the site, so i would love some help on this and advice what i can do to let google know what my site is about. If anyone can help with putting a linking stragedy in place and what things i should be doing to increase my ranking for important keywords, then that would be great many thanks
