http://www.netpivotal.co.uk/  is what us 127 guys used before we got a dedi.  our uni mate hosts several sites with them too. very good support. its hosted in USA but its still very fast.

i checked them out life, but apparently they dont do monthly payments and they dont do smtp services on the basic account (not sure if smtp is needed nowadays though)


thanks for the suggestions so far

what do you mean by smtp services?

[Lykaios]

some hosting companies will give you the ability to create your own SMTP user and passwords for emails, but i normally see those types of services on corporate accounts for businesses hosting multiple sites for customers oO

[frymaster]

if you mean mailboxes, then yeah, netpivotal do that

fry: from the faq on netpivotal site

Does Netpivotal offer SMTP services?
 
Netpivotal offers SMTP services on the Developer and Business plans. This allows you to use your own domain as the outgoing mail server.

Home plan users simply need to use the SMTP service provided by their internet service provider. Webmail can also be used to send and receive emails.

[frymaster]

for outgoing mail, yeah

i'm still not sure if that's what rocky meant.
