I'm about to upgrade a Windows
VPS Hosting to a fully loaded semi-dedicated with SQL Server, backups etc..
This is a big investment for me and I'll be using this server to host DB driven applications for my clients.
When I got the
VPS Hosting back in Dec I queried the fact that eUKhost doesn't appear to be VAT registered ... and was told you were still waiting for your VAT number.
Checking companies house the company has been running since 2005 and from other posts it employs around 60 people .... definately above the VAT registration threshold!! ... and my experience of the VAT people is that they don't take more than a few weeks to process a registration ... not 3 years!
Before I invest in a server and start putting client apps on it can someone tell me what the situation is (I'm no VAT expert) ... my fear is that one morning server and data disappear as eUKHost gets a VAT bill/fine going back 3 years which can't be paid.
I'm sure I have the same respect for Her Majesty's fine tax collectors as everyone else here
but this could impact my clients which is something I have to consider..
