I’ve deceided to go for the pay for your hosting instead of all that other crap avaliable, but i don’t know which company to choose, since i live in southeast europe id like to find a nice, fast, and reliable hosting company,and that speaks english :))

ive looked into [1and1.co.uk](http://1and1.co.uk) and [fasthosts.co.uk](http://fasthosts.co.uk) cause i can’t understand any of the other hosting companies in austria, germany, france, etc

any of you europeans have a company you can recommend?

well would there be any sort of delay in having my site hosted overseas?

Also, i know this not the original question, but i’ve seen alot of these reseller account sign-ups on magazines and all? can anyone tell me what they are and what does one need to have _hardware & software_ if needed, and how to go about it, also is it a worth while idea???
