Hello,
I need to know how can I register a hosting company in the UK, while I’m not in the UK. In fact, I never visited the UK and I’m not planning to visit it in the future at all.
Please note: I’m from the US.
Any help would be appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago, we posted an interview with Michael van Dijken, Microsoft’s lead marketing manager for hosted services, where we gained some insight into the direction Microsoft is taking with its partners through events like its annual Hosting Summit.
On the other side of the spectrum are the partners themselves, and we caught up with a good variety of them at the event to really get a sense of what the overall experience was like for them (considering this event really IS mostly about them, right?). We particularly decided to focus on questions like why they decided to attend the event, what they thought about the information Microsoft was presenting to them and what value they felt Microsoft’s summit brought to the hosting industry as a whole.

The complete S-1 documents can be found here and make pretty interesting reading for anyone who has a business involving web servers or large scale hosting.
Assuming that the IPO is issued, and that Rackspace becomes a New York Stock Exchange traded stock - this is great news for the web hosting industry. Here are the main reasons why:
