Website looks good...... yes, of course there trying to sell themselves - but then again they are likely to do this - after all it is a tactic to maximise sales! There not going to put there faults on the front page

Haha, good one

. To be honest with you I've been on their web site hosting many times and on every occasion without fail I've got a very irritating invitation to talk to sales staff via live chat. Not a good tac would lead me to closing the site, pretty much like someone on the phone and constantly repeating to you, "its the best bargain sir", "fantastic 15% reduction!!!" - makes most of people put the phone down... if I wanted to buy something I wouldn't want them to rush into actually talking about prices straight away

Not a problem. eUKhost provide cPanel on all shared, reseller, VPS Hosting and dedicated servers and plesk for Windows if needed. If you're in need of a Dedicated Server check here. I own a VPS Hosting with eUKhost, I actually don't know any other UK hosting provider who caters for Webmasters at a price that's reasonable for the industry!

Of course, Google could help you along your search

thats true. They are still in 1999 when Plesk was considered the best control panel. They are least bothered about hosting customers as web hosts cannot afford to pay £500 per month for servers. They host some servers for UK government and some other European countries and they are well paid for those. Branding is really important in hosting Business as most of the corporate customers give high priority to brand name and they are least bothered about technical support.

haha!

Yes, and to point out a fact about eUKhost from the rest is that other hosting providers charge as much as £99.99 for a small shared hosting account because they know how to trick newcomers into it - but eUKhost are a little different - I am sure you have a few dozen customers who don't know how to use the forum, right Mark?

I'm not sure what control panel I used when I was with Windows hosting but either its Plesk or the other windows control panel - its so slow its not fit for the market at all...

there's no other option for windows servers besides plesk control panel. If you need asp.net and MSSQL Server then you have to consider plesk control panel on your windows server.
