Hi All

Also don't forget via Startup Essentials (Suns programme for Startups)

you can get discounted

hosting with Every City as well, lots have already (worldeka,

bookingbug,soundcloud,twitblogs,iplatform etc)
Go to http://uk.sun.com... sign up there and drop me a line, and

we can see what we can do

to help.
Check the UK startup scene, to get some back up on this, but the

companies we are dealing with arent

paying a massive amount of money per month for hosting, and also there

is the backup of talking to

a technical team who can do more than just take your money, we can

listen and advise as well.
