[BNM] web hosting

[Chris Billett]

Urgh! This isn't personal, Lloyd, n' I hate to stomp on others'
recommendations, but Fasthosts are the absolute motherlickin' DEVIL of
ISPs. Quite simply the worst experience I've ever had. Getting away from
them was like getting out of Alcatraz, and more bloody expensive. They did
things like block formmail (or something similar) scripts without telling
any users, costing a business I knew who also used them God knows how much
through three months of lost contact form emails from their website, and
did various other similar things to piss off high end users.

Seem to remember there being a semi-mass exodus about a year and a half
ago, so I don't know if that turned things around, but I would avoid them
like the plague.
