Hello,

I currently have a reseller account with Hostgator but the problem is the server is in US and my clients are based in UK so there is a bit of lag between them and the server. I am getting 200ms latency when I ping the server.

I was thinking of moving to 1and1.co.uk but I am going to loose all my clients email address etc when I transfer! Is there anyway to be able to backup there email passwords and accounts to transfer over? Or will I have to reset all there passwords?

I just pinged 1and1.co.uk and its 60ms however when I ping multiplay.co.uk I get 12ms :S Anyone know any other fast UK hosts?

Thanks

Hiya CQ

Your welcome to give us a try, we use the same cpanel/whm system as hostgator, so moving your sites/customers to a new UK based host is easy, and painless...
Our servers are @ Hemel hempstead, so 10ms is normal within the M25, or 12+ the further you go..
