UK2 has allowed me to create shared hosting platforms easily, and relatively cheaply. I have had little to no experience with web hosting, but UK2 is very user friendly and their support team is great, so I had no problem getting my own server set up!

I have been hosted with one of UK2.net services called vps.net for around three years and while I have had some rough patches, I am overall quite happy. When I first signed up there support has been fast in replying and I am not including the first reply that says "We are looking into it", I mean an actual reply that helps. To this day support has always been the same although I do not use support much nowadays. Cost wise I sadly can not really comment on as I currently have a whole bunch of discounted systems but if I had to pay full price I would still say it was worth it! Uptime … this is where the review turns a bit sour. During my time with them I have had three times I would call "complete downtime" due to SAN Issues. Basically the vps went offline for days while their systems was rebuilding or due to their SAN failing. However as of late during the last year they got a new SAN setup and I can honestly say I never seen any downtime lately.

If you do not want a big website you could use UK2. If your blog will have a lot of pictures you may need to buy the bussiness plans. The price is cheap when you do not need many space. So, its two basics plans are fine to run your little website. There is not such a big different with their bussiness options, and it may be worth it to you.
