About the UK Hosting FAQ

Who is the Author?, he's Peter Gradwell

Why should I be wary of him? Lots of reasons! But in this context, remember he also sells web hosting in the uk.

In general, this document has been written using contributions from others in the UK web hosting business, who frequent the places you are reading this in. We're slightly biased, but we've tried to offer good, sound advice...

We don't talk about web hosting facilities, leased lines, colocation or dialup in this article.

• Dialup because it changes to much.
• Colocation because it's not talked about very frequently, visit Peter Simons site at http://www.colocation.org.uk
• Leased lines because Martin Cooper is better at it, see his writings at http://www.cooper.org.uk

We don't talk about what facilities are on offer and what they might mean, because we assume you already know what you want, you just need help spending your money.

Finally, we don't answer the most frequently asked question of all "Which is the best web host", because the only answer anyone ever gives us is: "I am!"

- Hopefully this document will give you a shortlist of ISPs and a long list of questions to ask them.

Please view the rest of this site for help on the last point!
