[HLUG] Linux Web hosting/ Email hosting Uk based - suggestions ?

[Tom English]

I'd certainly give Bytemark a thumbs up.

Been using their old VM platform as well as their new bigv.io platform, and
their support is excellent.

Symbiosis is especially good if you want to setup a standard hosting
environment and forget - they do have install instructions for adding all
the symbiosis components to a standard debian install.

The only downside to my current symbiosis machine (which I use for email)
is theres no way to easily add greylisting/DKIM support - although in the
new version (which is available as RC3, it's just not released as docs
aren't finished) this is now fixed.

Tom.
