    Default business / home web hosting.

    I'm considering starting a business and need a web presence, probably just a couple of pages, more so for email use. Consequently the hosting resources would be pretty minimal, however business packages are about £120 upwards and have more facilities that I would need.
    Perhaps in time if it took off the extra bells and whistles would be utilised, but at the moment I need what ammounts to a starter/ home service. Would companies mind if I paid for their £2/month personal package and gave it a business name and angle?
    Or can anyone suggest something that would suffice?

    thanks

    webfusion is a good option as it will provide low level shared hosting but the option to scale up if you need it, also in the UK on pipex backbones so well connected

    thanks, phurix does starter packages for £1 / month, can I infer from that that it is a size related service that the £1 refers to, and the nature of the use is immaterial, ie home or business?

    update- 11/12/6 tried phurix, and transferred the domain name across from 1and1.co.uk, created an email account but you cant send anything to it, Phurix help says that the domain isnot using their services and that it needs to be pointing to it's name server!!
    What the hell does all of that mean?

    Dunno if you have resolved your issues here but i use a company called streamline.net, very good value - 500mb 2 years hosting and domain name reg for just over £32 inc VAT!

    Bargain! Sliding scale upwards if you want more features.

    thanks for the reply, I gave up with phurix, the newbie support was a bit poor so I went back to 1and1 and for the moment I just have an email acc with them. I'll look around at others when I'm ready to step up a bit.
