hmm, I'm really not looking for a server I need to keep up to date at
all, but I think (need to double check) that this server won't be
running email or anything like that, just www/mysql, so I reckon
provided the server is patched for me I shouldn't need to touch it
other than to get more oomph if required.

does slicehost fit the bill there? Only concern I have is Slicehost is
US based, and although this company has a foreign office, it's based
in the UK, as they have a .com domain, hosting in the UK is preferable
I believe for inclusion in google's uk search results.

cheers,

jon
