How much does Vidahost hosting cost?
This is where we’ve been especially impressed with Vidahost, not only are they one of the highest reviewed hosting companies in the UK their prices are very competitive too. We have a Reseller 50 hosting account with them and are paying half of what we were at our previous webhost by taking advantage of their 3 years for the price of 2 offer. It’s working out at just over £11 a month plus VAT for 20GB of disk space and a massive 100GB of data transfer a month – much higher than most of the competition we checked!

Scottish film-maker Sue Bourne meets all kinds of people from the UK who regularly use online dating sites and asks them what impact it has had on their lives for good or bad. It will show on BBC 2 Scotland at 9.00pm on the 24th of August and you can hear an interview with the film-maker on the BBC iPlayer (the interview starts 15:30 minutes into the show). It sounds really interesting so we’re looking forward to watching it, let us know what you think if you saw it too.

If you’ve just watched the programme and don’t know where to start and which site to choose with so many out there then check out our Top 10 Online Dating Sites Reviews for our guide to the most popular UK dating sites.

Update: Was a very interesting, funny and thought provoking documentary that reflected many of the pitfalls, quirks, successes, thrills and disappointments of the online dating world. We thought it gave a balanced picture overall and served some important reminders for people to wise up to when using a dating site. Check out or Dating Survival Guide for some more tips on safe internet dating.

For anyone based in the UK that missed it you can watch it again on the BBC iPlayer for the next 6 days: Watch Wink Meet Delete on the BBC iPlayer

sphereing2There’s one thing that we’ve been mulling over here in the offices of onlinedatinghelp.co.uk and that is how to make online dating more exciting. It’s summer after all and no one wants to sit for hours behind a computer screen, doing nothing but looking at one profile after another.

What if you took a leap of faith and did something exciting? Okay, we realise that sometimes a date with a total stranger who you’ve only met on the internet IS kind of exciting but you could make it even more of a thrill for both of you…

Harness sphereingRoll down hills like romantic hamsters
We suggest you try sphereing. It’s a really fun way to get things started with a new date and we can guarantee that after you’ve rolled down a hill in a giant inflatable ball there won’t be any awkward silences between you! Even the most horrendous date will seem like a piece of cake after you’ve tried it. You’ll get a ton of excitement and can scream without looking crazy!

Aqua sphereingHead over heels in water
If you’re not into extremities at all you could try the “soft-core” version rolling down hills – aqua sphereing. We say soft-core but aqua sphereing’s still quite a rush and is a lot of wet fun, a bit like being inside of a huge washing machine. So remember to bring a change of clothing as you’re guaranteed to get pretty soaked!

Air sphereingBlowin’ in the wind
Air sphereing is another cool activity you could try to spice up your dating life, I’m sure your date probably hasn’t been invited to anything quite as exciting on a date before. Certainly beats the usual cinema-pub-restaurant, stroll in the park. Currently only available at Milton Keynes but worth a trip if you’re not close by.

Sphereing discount code
There’s currently a £10 off Sphereing discount code over on Sphereing.co.uk so you can save on Harness, Aqua and Air Sphereing activity gift vouchers.
