I'm in the UK and looking to switch over to a UK host provider. Can anyone recommend IONOS for the uk? I'm considering a fairly low-spec VPS. Even with VAT, their prices will be about 3/4 of what I'm currently paying.

I've been getting by with Ionos, as a Filipino user with a VPS in America. The support was helpful when I had cloud panel issues the first month, but again your mileage may vary.

It's not perfect, but for me, it's good enough.

Only know Ionos in DE but I can't recommend it, the support is pretty bad.

Bad how? Slow to respond, poor knowledge, or just non-existant ticketing?

Playing information ping pong. We sent them some issue with a lot of information and instead of actually investigating they often dragged on the whole thing by asking for details they should have themselves, taking hours-days to respond etc before they actually did something. We often had to escalate issues via our account manager.

This was all on enterprise support while I was working for a company that paid six figures each month for infrastructure in their data center.

Have a nose on lowendbox.com can find so some nice deals on there. Lots available that are not US based.

Thanks but they're crappy resellers with very restricted "deals" that aren't realistically useable!
