Over the past few years I've tried out many different hosting solutions. Through experience, I've settled on a pretty stable combination, that has given me no major problems at all.

I get lots of enquiries, so I've put together a little page at http://www.mirical.co.uk detailing the companies I use, and why, so if you're looking for good value shared hosting, check it out.

I now work mainly with larger sites spread across many servers, but I still regularly use this combination for development work.

Hope this is useful
