</div>I'd have no hesitation in recommending <a href="http://hetzner.de" target="_blank">hetzner.de</a> for dedicated servers,<br>
if you don't have a problem with most of their web interfaces only being<br>
in German, and not being able to pay in pounds sterling (so credit cards<br>
only basically). I've had one of their 49 EUR/month dedicated machines<br>
for a few months with no hint of outages at all, and I was put in their<br>
direction by a friend with a similar experience over the last year.<br>
<br>
They impose traffic speed restrictions beyond the stated monthly data<br>
transfer limits, but unless you're running a warez site you're unlikely<br>
to be reaching them if you're in the market for an entry-level hosting<br>
setup. If you pay bottom dollar, you're likely to get very poor service<br>
that can be improved hugely by paying a realistic amount for what you<br>
are getting.<br>
