£29/month + VAT.

You really think that they're going to be paying £1000 each for 1000 raq3
servers when the raq4 has just come out???
I think not.

> You make it sound like you were forced to go with them.

Oh no, you get me all wrong, I love the raq3 offer with uk2.net it's really
good, and I recommend it to everyone, but what I'm complaing about is their
prices on their domain names for changing the name server for that
domain....
And about the 5Gb Bandwidth, well yes, I will use it up quite quickly
(remember backups also count) as I have several large sites with BIG
downloads on it.
