@sz1hosting i love redstation network i will surely signup for your service.
Little bit of advice, redstation are the kings of pre sales magic followed by post sales horror show, they are not a VPS host friendly place at all.
Expect the following:
Few spam emails sent, they ask for a £500 deposit and then charge £60 per spam email sent, you can get around this by paying for their managed network services (twice the price of your server)
Yes they have capacity to deal with DDOS attacks, as in it wont hurt their own network much but they wont help you 1 bit unless you are paying for a managed network service (twice the price of your server)
Should a drive fail (hot swap or now) they will not take your word for it, they will not accept smart reports, instead they will insist on running the manufacturers diagnosis which can take 6 hours, and they do this on your server meaning you are offline for that time..... unless your paying for a fully managed service...
Starting to see a theme?
Interesting point of view, i see you are a host yourself - who do you use for your selling your UK VPS ?
@forthcloud is using Redstation for months they are doing fine.If this was the case why they are still with them?
Does nobody remember the DDoS weekend a few weeks/months ago?
Not me!
Some light reading...

Thanks, just added ipv6 ; )
Benchmark for his new UK server, the RAID1 and old disks/CPU is showing a little here!
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/05/22/KZZlGyVlyqAF3tbf
the server is [D9-200] Quad Core: X3450 - 2.66Ghz maybe the config will look into this, it may also be because it was a custom vps not one from the uk plans range.
X3450 is even worse than X3470.
The NSA is watching....
