I realise there have been threads on this before but not recently that I can find and things change. So...

I'm looking for recommendations on web hosting (for a self-built site rather than photium, foliopic, etc). It's not totally a money-no-object job but I'm willing to pay a little more for fast hosting and good service (I don't mind paying for a business rather than home package if it works well).

For the techies, my requirements are:

- php and mysql
- ability to install my own wordpress site (including enough access to set up redirects, etc)
- UK-based, dedicated IP address (not shared with other sites)
- sub-domains
- sub-second load time for static pages (the pages are light enough for this to be possible on a half decent server)
- reasonable tech support (not just the switch it off and on again crowd)
- I'd prefer linux-based hosting

Anyone had any good experiences over the last few months?

I recently signed up with HostPapa for my site.
Got a free domain which will remain free while ever I am with them.
Price is good too.
