Cheap hosting for a .co.uk domain w/servers in the UK?

[Catfish]

Any suggestions? I just need to register one .co.uk domain and host it. Must be accepting customers from outside the UK, but have their servers in the UK.

I use https://www.vidahost.com/
Awesome customer service (every single time I've had to email them have had decent response in less than 10 mins) and good prices

That looks great, man - thanks for the tip!
Looks like the .com.uk domain I had in mind is already taken.
What would be your preference if you wanted to target UK traffic:
.com.uk
.co.uk
.org.uk
.uk.com
.uk.net
.me.uk

.co.uk or .org.uk only. Never any of the others.

.co.uk

Definitely co.uk

As for servers, I used to recommend Eukhost, but now I would recommend people stay away from them, in the last month I have had no end of problems with them. Customer support is good with live chat on demand, but I've been having to contact them almost every day.

Yeah I'd suggest avoiding EUKhost too, so many problems and take long periods of time to sort out.

.co.uk first and then .org.uk. In my experience .org.uk's rank just as well as .co.uk's. They're just not as good for brands as not as many average Internet users know about them and so they aren't as memorable.

Since the domain is not a brand and the two-word exact match domain I had in mind was not available as .co.uk, I went for the .org.uk version.
If you had the choice between:
exact match domain for two words as .org.uk with 165k searches/mth (according to G's kw tool)
or
exact match domain for three words as .co.uk with 10k searches (according to G's kw tool)

in an area less competitive than poker/casino, which one would you take? Might be a good idea to take them both ....
