Getting a web hosting can be a big confusing if you are a novice. Just a month ago, I got a shared hosting from a company and my account got suspended in just one month. The reason for this was “I was using to much of their server’s CPU”. I absolutely didn’t have any idea on this. I got around 10k traffic the week my account got suspended and they told me that was the cause of the problem. Now I know a lot more about hosting than just a month ago. I did a lot of research on the topic and found out some very useful information.
I was about to get a VPS, as suggested by my previous host but then I found a cheap linux hosting on DigitalPoint forum that I couldn’t pass up. If the traffic starts to increase again, I will have no other choice other than to get a VPS. A regular VPS can withstand about 100k hits at a time so that would be totally sufficient for me. There are some sites that get absolutely huge amount of traffic and to manage that, they usually start their own server (which can be a bit of a hassle as you have to maintain it all the time) or they get a dedicated hosting.
VPS and Dedicated hosting has become a huge market as millions and millions of users start their own sites. There are huge amount of web hosting and server providers and it can sometimes be a bit confusing when it comes time to commit. I have a link to one of the server companies. It is a UK based company so people who reside in the UK or have huge traffic from UK should benefit from it. All four of their data centers are located inside UK. Their price is a bit high for me but small company should be able to easily afford it. They provide managed web hosting uk for its clients. They have four packages available, which should meet the requirement of almost any company. Their dedicated hosting UK solution has three packages (Value, Extra and Pro). These packages are perfect for uk small business web site hosting or even for a large business.

There server will be up 99.9% of the time which is the standard in the industry. If you choose the Pro package, you will get a free PSP or an iPod Touch (you can can choose either one).
