asked for low-cost UK hosts, and and other members (, , ) offered starting points. Those suggestions are useful, but price alone is a poor selector. Focus on what you actually need and what the host limits or guarantees.

A short checklist to compare providers:

  • Renewal pricing vs introductory price (check year-two costs).
  • Uptime SLA and recent public uptime history.
  • Backup policy: frequency, retention, and how restores work.
  • Resource limits: CPU, RAM, concurrent processes, and inode counts.
  • Support: channels (phone/ticket/chat), response times, and real test replies.
  • Software stack: PHP/MySQL versions, SSH access, control panel, one-click apps.
  • SSL availability, email limits, and domain management rules.
  • Hidden fees, overage charges, and migration assistance.

Ecommerce notes: if you will take card payments, prefer a host that supports HTTPS/modern TLS, provides easy SSL installation, and can document PCI requirements. For on-site payment processing, shared budget hosting is usually not appropriate—use a PCI-capable provider, a VPS, or let a gateway do the heavy lifting. Performance (fast pages, caching, CDN) and reliable backups matter more for stores than for brochure sites.

Reseller/multiple-site advice: as hinted, reseller accounts can be cheaper for many sites, but check how resources are allocated. Keep domain registration separate so you can move hosts without transferring domains. Before committing, open a support ticket with pre-sales questions, sign up month-to-month to test real support and performance, and use external uptime and backup checks so a cheap host does not become an expensive problem later.

I think Fasthost is OK. I have use them for sometime and I have not had any problem with them.

I if you are looking for a host that you want to have multiple site one then you will have to look for one that offer reseller accounts because buying one one account is not profitable.
