Tony,
I have used the reseller service from clook.net for over a year now and
have been constantly impressed with their service. They offer managed
servers http://www.clook.net/services/servers.php which I am currently
thinking about as my largest client is rapidly outgrowing their current
hosting solution on another provider.
On an aside some of your site is broken in Mozilla based browsers, for
instance in
http://www.travelsignposts.com/resources/book-a-hotel-in-England.html
the left hand menu takes up over 100% of the screen width at 1152 x864.
