Thanks guys - I did a quick search on VAT but couldn't find anything .... probably not looking hard enough!
OK .. so appear to be VAT registered which is good (well not good so much as necessary!) .. but invoices don't have VAT on them ... so eUKHost are even more likely to end up with a hefty VAT bill they can't pay!! (don't think they'll get away with asking customers to back pay VAT

)
