Quality UK Windows/SQL Server hosting required

Any recommend any *quality* hosting services?
My current host pulled a fast one on me and I feel like bailing out on them completely.

I need Windows 2003, ASP and SQL Server 2000 (depending on price)

Forget any companies that offer free hosting as they'll have far too many clients to give a toss about my urgent support calls.

Rob, you still using Tollon?

Is that Gav?

I'm not too good on this subject (translated from Skwirrell to English; "This may be a red herring"), but I have some friends (of friends) who own and run a website design/hosting company. Maybe worth a look. I've no idea if their prices are any good, or the service is what you're after, as I've never needed to compare.

Advance apologies if it's not the sort of thing you're looking for.

edit: Just thought of someone else who might be able to help you with a shared server but not sure he'd be interested. I've mailed him and will revert if he can help.

I have always found Netbenefit to be superb, uptime, speed, reliability and support, however they are pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for. Top notch IMO.

D3mon....

Yes, still using Tollon for most of my clients...

100% uptime for everyone last month and the speed is well fast.... support = excellent and knowledge is second top none.

I've used Tollon for years now although I do use other hosts at the same time. Whenever quality is of the upmost importance, I go with Tollon and pay the extra few quid.

I cant comment on the other companies as I simp,y have had zero dealings with them.

Fasthosts is still a lottery imho and not something I'd use if I need complete reliability (now I know smokie will disagree here)

Right now it looks like Netcetera are going to get my future business. The Developer account seems reasonably priced and I intend to dump to wildly overpriced SQL server (hosts seems to charge what they like for it) in favour of Access or MYSQL.

Trouble is, my bandwidth for July was 16GB (the devloper account is capped at 10GB/month) so I might have to go for the e-commerce account (20GB/month) which is pricier, to prevent any unexpected 'overflow' bills.
