www.i-websolutions.co.uk
16 quid a year gets you 100mb space and 2GB of bandwidth a month, which is a bargin for uk hosted sites. 
btw, when choosing a host remember there is not such thing as unlimited bandwidth, its a con and you will get screwed somewhere for it!

 Plus its uk hosted and for that price its a bargin. They obviously do other packages and as there quite small they will do any package you want if you contact them.
Customer service is tops too, usually get a response within an hr or so

if it works yea, but it doesn't in this case...hostip.info doesn't seem to have a clue (geotools points it to being in the atlantic  ), infact it doesn't seem to have a clue about quite a few ips
eitherway, its 85.234.146.9 if you want to butchers at it

Linux allows for more server side applications to be run, but I dont think supports frontpage extensions..
Id go with linux over windows everytime.

Main difference is the fact that one is Windows (well NT usually) and the other is Linux. Noticeable difference not a great deal, just the fact that linux is cheaper and for what you need, i would got with a linux box
edit - draw, what if you need ASP or .net? linux doesn't natively support asp (chilli is a bit bodged), so you would need a windows box then.
