I don’t normally do posts actually promoting anybody, but I thought the service we’re getting from our host UKFast.co.uk deserved a quick note.

UKFast have really helped us the last few weeks/month with our dedicated hosting and moving the site too, and the uk based server we’re on is FAST to say the least (which is cool because actual page load speed is rummoured to being playing more of a role in rankings in Google in 2010).

So if you’re looking for fast UK hosting – check out, er, UKFast. :)

  1. Fast Hosting
  2. UK Based Hosting (Manchester in England I think)
  3. Excellent customer service
  4. Dedicated Hosting & Managed Servers
  5. Windows & Linux Servers

For us, they’ve delivered on product and service. Customer service and technical has been excellent – they’ve always been quick to respond to us – so I can’t do anything more than actually highly recommend them if you need to have your website hosted in the UK (which again is better if you want to rank in Google UK, especially if you have a .com domain and haven’t geotargetted it in Google webmaster tools yet).

Disclosure – this is an unpaid, un-asked for testimonial, in the same vein as laid down by Google when they do testimonials. It took me 10 minutes out of my day to write, and reflects exactly my thinking at this time about our current hosting provider. No affiliate links either, although in 2010 UKFast will be one of the few affiliates on the Hobo SEO Blog, once I sort out my privacy, disclosure and policies page.

We've recently updated our comments policy and increased the number of comments a visitor has to make to get seo friendly links in comment signatures to reward long term readers and make it a bit harder for dofollow spammers ;) - I told you dofollow spamming wasn't a long term strategy....
