Hi everyone,
I have been approached by a potential client looking to move their current site from their current developers because of a 500% price increase in hosting fee's.
The hosting needed will require access to both a linux server and windows serves for different reasons.
I am wondering if anyone has used a hosting company with both these servers available other than rackspace as I have already spoken with them.
Hope there is some advice out there :)

They look like something I can move forward with, I normally use site5 but have not needed to use a Windows server before.

You can chose how much ram/etc. You need and I think the plan I have comes with unlimited storage, but limited bandwidth or something like that for only like $9 a month.
Edit: I think they even have dedicated servers available.

5,334 PointsI use a British firm called names.co.uk There hosting is a quite reasonable price for resellers. They have many different service add ons available. There technical support service is superior. I have been with them for 6 years now and have only ever once had down time which was in fact my own fault. Highly recommend them. They have Windows and Linux servers too.
