Found another one - looks potentially better: http://www.protechit.com.au/linuxhosting.html (http://www.protechit.com.au/linuxhosting.html) but to get the special price go here first http://www.webhostingtalk.com.au/australia-11/march-madness-sale-8763.html (http://www.webhostingtalk.com.au/australia-11/march-madness-sale-8763.html)

I use MD in Melbourne - FAST servers, always up, and a bunch of plans for home users to major business plans.

You can eaily move your domain across too ;-)

Yeah, that one looks good - and if you have had a good experience that helps a lot.

I've been with MD for around 3 years, after being shafted from 2 dodgies before that.

MD have upgraded their PC/servers time & time again, improving speed, size & service as technology grows....

They're on the ball and i personally couldn't ask for more.....unless they have a spare 6ft blonde absolutely aching for it  !*!

I have been with http://www.bizwebspace.com.au/web-hosting-australia.shtml (http://www.bizwebspace.com.au/web-hosting-australia.shtml) for about 5 years  ^^^. They are a small QLD based web hosting coy that have great reliability and support.

I currently run http://www.poidb.com/ (http://www.poidb.com/) from this host.
