[Gllug] OT: Good ISP & Offsite Storage

[Andy Young]

Hi all,

Sorry that one of my first (maybe ever my very first!) postings to this list
is off topic, but a kind gentleman pointed me in the direction of this list
a while ago as a very helpful source of info for UK IT issues. I've been
lurking a while and hopefully won't get shot down in flames ;)

May I ask for a couple of bits of advice?

1) Who would you recommend as a name registrar / website host / ISP?
I'd not quite go as far as a Co-Lo server but I would like a Unix based
server account with Telnet access and CGI scripting ability. PHP would be
nice too.
Maybe some peaks of pretty heavy bandwidth usage. Must be reliable and
provide a good service. I obviously don't want to pay over the odds, but
good service and support are important to me. Spending hours on the end of
an engaged 'phone line doesn't do a lot for my blood pressure!

2) Who would you recommend in London as an off-site tape storage facility?
Or failing that, what do you do to rotate your backup tapes off site?
Don't say "take them home" as they'll end up in the wash or something ;)

Many thanks for any advice,
