Would anyone be interested in really cheap web hosting from £12 a year upwards?
Examples are £12 for 1GB no databases, £18 for 1GB with a mysql database and Wordpress, £24 for 2GB two databases and Wordpress, up to £36 for five databases with all the trimmings and unlimited space.

I don't really was to get into design again, so I'm just going for the cheap hosting options.

I use weebly for all of my sites, so I'm afraid it's of no use to me. I'm assuming you have a site set up for this? Might be able to refer a few people your way in the future if so.

Yeah, I set it up as I'm running sites for so many people and so many sites of my own that it just made life easier (and cheaper). I'm reselling Daily Internet's services, so its all pukka.

I realise I'm opening myself up to "oh god your site is shite" and other comments (which I am VERY guilty of in the past), but I cobbled it up in twenty minutes when I realised I needed it (the better version is being worked on)... http://www.metalhost.co.uk/

Remember... I'm more on the hosting that the design.

I use daily myself for domain management. I used to use gmail for email until they stopped giving out free accounts for your own domains so I now use outlook.com for new domains and it works well. As my "design skills" arent the best I use weebly for all of my sites as its all drag and drop and includes hosting.
My latest site is this which only took a couple of hours to achieve. I just love weebly!

Can I just complain about your site "glass houses, stones airborn etc"... on one of my machines its fine, but on the one with the crappier screen resolution everything from "terms" downwards is inaccessible as the menu doesn't scroll. Smaller fonts perhaps?

Menu fonts and such-like are pre-defined as part of the theme so unfortunately there's little adjustment.
How poor is the resolution on said computer? I've tested my site on several browsers, and on several machines including netbooks and it has worked perfectly. I'll mess about reducing my own screen res now though and see if and where the problem starts. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I was wrong, the theme did allow me to change the font size of the menu items. Could you please re-test for me and let me know if thats sorted it?

Thanks

1024x768(WinXP, Firefox) - just noticed that the right hand side truncates and gives scroll bars too. Looks fine on the Linux machine though.

A lot, yes. The bottom line is still a bit wide though (first free draw probably pushes it once letter to far for this screen).
