Website for plan B

[XLMonkey]

I want to be able to get a bit slicker with my plan B (have accidentally found a way of making money in my sleep), but having a bit of a nightmare getting together the following

1. Easy to use content management/website editing system that I can use off-line to develop and update the website
2. An ISP that provides basic domain name registration and a (small) amount of website storage space (say, 50MB). I don’t need active server pages or any of that stuff, just simple html will do fine.
3. A domain based webmail service so that I can receive and send mails using a web client to myname@mydomain.com (its this last bit that is proving a particular pain in the ass)

How hard is that? So why am I finding it such a bloody nightmare to find an option that works without shelling out tons of unnecessary cash?

Is it because I is thick? Feel free to explain where I'm going wrong....

No, it is cos you is tight.

You must be better at thinking of ideas to make money in your sleep than you are at searching for web hosts. Or does £40/year for hosting (e.g. Dataflame - http://www.dataflame.co.uk/) plus the cost of downloading something like Nvu make your venture no longer worthwhile?

Thx for the link - it may well just be me, only I seem to have been through quite a few different options, all of which turned out to be either too expensive or too difficult to use for a monkey like me (no opposable thumb, see?). I'll have a look.

Now ideas, those I have hundreds of.....
