Well, given that you came to HostingForAQuid.co.uk, you're probably after hosting for a quid.
All right, then. The Steel package, priced at a single British pound per month, is ideal for personal web pages. You get a hundred megs of space, four mailboxes, and half a gigabyte of data transfer per month.
You also get a guestbook, a script that lets your visitors send postcards, a form-to-Email script (good for feedback forms), a search engine for your site, an online photo album script, a Web calendar, a survey script, an Internet Countdown script, a random text and image displayer, a tell-a-friend box, a Java clock, a break-frames script ('cause you know it's annoying when somebody links to your site only to have your page show up in their frameset), a Bookmark Us link, and a Set Home Page link.
Some of the above need a MYSQL database in order to function, so you get one of those too.
It's basic when compared with our other packages, but it's still just about the best value you can get these days. If you can find a better deal, please let us know and we'll try to beat it.
After we had been running comfortably with our four basic packages for a while, we started getting requests for more specific packages, and to answer those requests we created Steel Plus and Stainless.

Steel Plus is the perfect solution for HTML newbies and bloggers. You get the Site Builder (and supporting templates, web art et cetera) and all five blog/CMS engines. Building your website has never been faster, cheaper, easier or more flexible. This is a great package to start off with your first Web presence. You also get extra MYSQL databases, so you can experiment with different blog engines and scripts simultaneously. And still at a great price!
Only £3 per month, or £30 for a year.

Stainless Steel is the evil genius offspring of Steel and Gold. It has the same bandwidth and storage space limitations of the regular Steel package, but it has every feature enabled and, in most cases, set to the same limitations (or lack thereof) of the Gold package. We designed this package for... well, for people like us, really. We are compulsive code junkies, and we love to meddle in forces we don't understand. This package is so stuffed full of scripts and things to play about with that any self-respecting programmer will spontaneously combust with delight.
The Stainless package also serves as a nice "preview" of the Gold package. If you think you'd like the extra features but you're not sure if you'll need the frankly ridiculous amounts of bandwidth and storage space that the Gold account offers, why not give Stainless a try for a little while? You can always upgrade later if you like.
Only £4 per month, or £40 for a year.
