Why should you only consider a host in the US?

Just wanted to say thanks for writing this review. I'm having a complete nightmare with my hosting provider (fatcow) and I'm looking to switch as soon as humanly possible, and due to this thread (and the info on their site) I'm now planning to use Nimbus instead. Sent them an email already and just waiting for a quotation, as long as it isn't outrageous I'll go with it.
Edit: Small update; Tim is awesome, they are migrating my stuff over to Nimbus now, and I couldn't be happier. He was able to answer all sorts of stupid questions from me in less time than it took my old hosting provider to send me automated emails telling me they'll get back to me in 24 hours. I couldn't be happier. Thanks again for the recommendation.

I thought I'd come back and give a brief update on my experience as I'm coming to the end of my first month with Nimbus now;
These people are fantastic. I don't really know what else I can say. They delivered exactly what they promised, they were polite and professional, they respond to my silly questions faster than I can type them out, and they proactively send me emails to check whether things are ok and whether there's anything they can help with. I honestly don't remember the last time I was this impressed with a company. There's no referal in my sig (ok, there's not even a sig >.>) and I'm not getting any sort of a discount for saying this, it's just a genuine account of how I feel after my first month as their customer.
Thanks again for the recommendation.

What do you mean by "sold out?"
(I know why I switched from Nimbus back in 2015, but just curious...)

They've sold out to World Host Group
Tim has left the company. The support team in Hertford don't exist anymore. You can't speak to support on the phone anymore
Is this someone I should know?

Yes, assume the same for everyone from the generic email received today. It wasn't the best "prices going up" email I've ever read. It was short and didn't explain much about their reasoning or what the price increase will provide - eg improved support.
I too have been with Nimbus for a long time, about 10 years and had a few chats with Tim in that time when we've had a few issues with them and he pretty much sorted them.
Unfortunately I had to call upon their support recently after Tim sold the business and found it very poor for the prices we pay them. I think if/when we have an issue next time and it's hassle then I'll have to seriously look around for alternatives. I'm happy to pay good money for good service in the knowledge that it won't break and if it does then I can call someone and they sort it, but I didn't feel that when I called them last time.

I was with Nimbus from day one.
And Global Gold before that, which was also Tim.
I knew they were more expensive, but happy to pay it for peace of mind, and their support was top class.
I found their support to suddenly really decline. Almost felt as though support become an opportunity to upsell/crosssell what you didn't need.
I left them, picking up a much better server, for half the price. After being with Nimbus for over a decade, I was a tad wary but enlisted the support of @MattW to manage the process last July.
Couldn't be more pleased.
Noticed Nimbus was sold very shortly afterwards which served to reaffirm the decision for me.
If you're finding Nimbus to no longer be what they were - Id recommend Matt.
