Yes, a website istelf, would work. Although, if you plan to host files, then it might work okay if you use small files, but like a OS, screw that, you need higher.
My site on my PC would be around 30-50MB, with images, links, loads of pages.
It's in London, and the deals are great! I sent them an email, got a reply in 10 mins..
Besides, I can always upgrade..1 month's fee's, is like 3 hours work..so that's how i think of it..yeah, UK hosting is alot more expensive! But, I would prefer the server, and company closer to home, cheap isant always the best..
And I bought www.theHTMLpeople.com ! 8.99 a year, again, 2 hours work! So one full nights work, is the domain paid for, for a year, and a months hosting!
faulty hardware is replaced within 20 minutes of being reported, and tape backups are made every 6-8 hours!
