Esteemed panel, has anyone experience of http://www.webhosting.uk.com/linux-hosting.php ?

Their prices look good on the basic package i.e. £20 a year with PHP4\5 and MySQl support, apparently unlimited number of databases.

Or does anyone know of a better deal?

I couldn't get to that site.

What bandwidth, storage, email, other options do they offer?

I use PowWeb on UNIX - they are currently offering $5.77 a month (roughly £3 or so a month) for one or two years registration, with 300GB disk space and 3000GB a month bandwidth. Up to 75 MySQL databases included in the price too. So far (touch wood), no major problems in three years.

Didn't see that on their site (which has now loaded) - I found something that says

MySQL is a powerful database engine designed to provide fast access to stored / dynamic data. It can be unlimited i.e. as much space you have with your package.

The bandwidth and space is a lot smaller than you could get for a little bit more.

They told me about the unlimited databases when I rang them to see how many you could have.

That powweb looks interesting, especially all the apps that can be installed. Mind you £3/mo is £36 a year, whereas the other one is £20 a year. Also, looking at my current usage I'm using 151Mb of storage and have only used 90Mb of bandwidth so far this month.

Cheers for the pointer.

I have a number of subdomains that I play about with, so that I can see what I want to be doing, try things out etc. etc. and then move them onto the right place when they are ready to go live.

I also use some of the secure space as backup for files.
