Hosting in the UK

Does anyone have any recommendations for a hosting solution in the UK? I run a website for a small group with the need for PHP and MySQL support. I'm not exactly unhappy with my current host, but they seem to have have become a bit "dormant" and it's making me more nervous as I renew each year.

I did find a few threads on the forum but they are from about 2 years ago so I am not sure if any reccomendations would still stand.

Thanks

I use The Planet and Softlayer, and they've been very good. I believe that they have an IDC in the UK... You'd need to double check though.

nativespace.co.uk works very well, has a good feature set and their support is excellent.

JavaJones:
The most important question is what level and type of hosting are you looking for, basic "shared" hosting, VPS, dedicated server (managed or unmanaged)?

If you were able to relax your requirement for UK hosting then I can highly recommend Webfaction who are a UK company with servers located in US datacenters.

Their hosting is very flexible - you can build and install applications into your home directory if you want. It is the next best thing to a VPS.

Prior to being with Webfaction I was with United Hosting who are also very good and offer servers either in the US or the UK.

The only reason I moved was because I needed Latex which United Hosting were unable to provide but which Webfaction had installed. If they hadn't had it installed I could have installed my own copy - such is their flexibilty.

If you must have a UK server take a look at United Hosting otherwise look at Webfaction for the ultimate flexibility without going VPS. My experience is that both provide very reliable hosting with excellent support.
