Yeh - that was hosting off ebay and shite from a reseller. (hosted in
Malaysia!)
This one is a bit better! ;-) It wouldnt happen with them - but Id
always advice to back things up anyway!

Hmm. You've missed the most important thing IMO. ie reliability and
speed.

Cant comment. Dont know them - but the one that Krustov mentions
(liquid six) and 34sp I do know are good.

I just had a look at the one you mention. They will be ok - BUT they
are US based. If you are going that route, then Id say use dreamhost.
I can give you a code that would cost you about $95 for 2 years
including a free .com domain. Better value. I would however recommend
a UK based company - unless you really did need 300GB!!!!
