Does anyone know of any good hosts based on the UK(except f2s)?
Mainly because as a student I haven't either visa or mastercard(and I can't seem to find paypal at a good time) and I only got a switch card.
What I'm lookin for is basically php4, 20MB and 5MB mysql |

there was a post on my MB quite a long time ago about this host, don't know if it's still available tho OR if the 'terms of use' are still the same. |

Parlez-vous francais ? :-)
If so, here is the free solution:
http://www.free.fr/
I am from Germany, and I succeeded to get a free account - a postal letter is sent to the account owner with a registration code, so if they sent it to Germany, I assume that they sent it to all EU countries.
http://hemmerling.free.fr/
Adless free webspace with PHP, MySql, FTP upload,..
A little warning: Free.Fr is an ISP. According to the license agreement, *maybe* the account expires if you donīt do a far call and login by Free.Fr ISP services by an analog modem, at least once each 6 months.
I succeeded to login by analog modem (but not by ISDN !) from Germany, no problems. The costs for such a call are affordable, as you must just call a standard local phone number (no expensive numbers like 0900-, 0190-,..).
So remember, if you got a DSL or cable modem, you need to use an old analog modem once each 6 months to keep your account with Free.Fr.

The UK company I recommend is http://www.xcalibre.co.uk who I've found to be fantastic. Support is pretty fast, and they are cheap for what you get. |

I wouldn't go for free.fr, as I've heard some bad stories about their reliability. Their database is quite bad, and for a while PHP disappeared!
uklinux.net is also an ISP, but they are quite good. Just sign up for a (free??) hosting account and you get the webspace.

Since when is 100mb equal to 400mb?
Also, 400mb is fine for people who don't use much bandwidth (personal sites for example). |

I had a similar situation to you, although if you can get your hands on a Visa Electron card from Barclays, You'll be able to use the card abroad, which will widen your choice a bit but not in this country (Really, Really Strange I know!) but thats what I done and can order from anyone outside the uk now
Thus I have a Natwest Solo Switch card and a Barclays Visa Electron, between them you can get anything worldwide |
