I can recommend you https://www.linode.com/ - they provide excellent
VPS services and offer servers from London based data center.

Hi Chris,

We have a Catalyst app, several Java based monitoring apps and some
other apps running on Bytemark's Big V basic (£12 a month inclusive of
VAT) VPS offering.

They seem to work fine. The Catalyst app runs on its own VPS as do each
install of the Java App. which is OpenNMS installs. As long as your
requirements are low (which they seem to be) they work well enough.
Linode's UK offers are also good and are a Perl company so they
understand Perl well - Bytemark seem to be Ruby/PhP.

Both Bytemark and Linode seem to have clued-up and helpful devs and have
freenode channels on irc so you can scout them out and have a chat
before visiting web portals and customer mangle-ment.

Hope this helps.

I used linode.com for a number of years, and then switched to
digitalocean.com 2 or 3 years ago as they were a bit cheaper.
I'd happily recommend either company. Very similar services, very good
web-based management.
