I use LFC Hosting. However, i'm sacking that off as i can just use the Zen cpanel we have at work. Might go mad and set up IIS even

Use TSOhost (UK hosting, down in maidenhead i believe), pretty highly rated over at OChostreview.co.uk. Currently pay £50 a year for 10GB Storage & 120GB monthly bandwidth (+ a few extras).
Willay - What can you do on hosting? Looking to downgrade (still a few gigs worth of storage and half the monthly bandwidth), will stay at TSOhost unless i can source a cheaper host.

Is that not you reselling or something similar, if so a bit misleading, just say this is my hosting.
I use http://www.fasthostingdirect.co.uk/ they have been good so far £19.99 for 2 years unlimited, if your site every gets too big for them to handle they will refund you.
Lots of good reviews and i've not had any downtime that I know of.

I host on my own hardware. Tried shared hosting plans & they were shite for what I needed... No real flexibility at all & dedicated renting from hosts was stupidly priced for what it was IMO.

No idea how that hosting is set up, but you'll have email options somewhere and then you'll have to set up a new mailbox (basically your email address).
I use streamline.net for all mine, good service from what I can tell.

Im guessing you've registered the domain you want when you set up the hosting? If so...
1. Create the webpage using whatever programme you are using, and then save it as index.html or index.htm (Im guessing it will be one of those formats and not .php, etc.). You then need to upload this to your hosting - should see an option somewhere in the control panel in the hosting that will be FTP or something like that.
2. As I said before you'll see an option to edit the email settings for the domain you registered. You'll need to create a new mailbox, which would be info@yourdomain.com or whatever you want it to be. You'll then either configure your email programme to pick up these emails, or use it online such as hotmail does.
John should be able to help more as will know the set up of this host.

Did you buy the domain name from them or do you have one already.
If you have one already get the domain to use the fasthosting nameservers, there are instructions in the faqs for it iirc.
You set up all the email from the provided cpanel for your hosting, which they'll send details for if they haven't already, it won't work until you sort out the domain though.
It's just standard cpanel for control of the hosting and nameservers etc from the login for the fasthosting website

If its cpanel then its a piece of piss once you've got details of how to log into it all for your domain.
