I managed to get a mediawiki installation up and running on the city escapes domain with Servage web host in the end, and once working it does seem to be fairly robust as far as non-US web hosting services are concerned.

I seem to be constantly looking for the best UK web hosting service, either to try out new projects or else when an existing host becomes insufferably bad. I’ve had various recommendations over the months and compiled most of them onto a wiki page: Web Hosting but it’s hard to do any kind of comparison so I usually have several in a state of trial at any one time. Moving stuff over from one web host to another is not exactly trivial so it’s a bit like the home utilities companies, you get stuck with a service you know isn’t necessarily the best value - inertia I think they call it. Then there’s the whole question of whether ti use UK web hosting at all or take advantage of some very cheap US hosting deals. Overselling is another thorny topic.
Maybe someone out there knows better, what’s the best web hosting you’ve used so far?
