Red face UK-Based Good Free Hosting Recommendation

Hi

I've had a disappointing experience with a couple of free providers and wanted to know if there are any good free hosts out there supplied by UK based companies - the hosting (servers) don't physically have to be in the UK. But for legal reasons I want the company to be a UK Ltd one.

Wants:-

1) FTP access if possible
2) point my domain
3) any scripting/db would be a bonus but static html is ok
4) don't mind one small advert or link

I have a UK domain name already and do not wish to transfer it - just point the domain to the new host.

Thanks

Why not just pay a few quid and be safe?

Agreed - free and good don't go together with regards to hosting.

How can you be disappointed with a free meal? Would you like blood with that?

You get what you pay for. So if you have paid nothing you cant complain if your site goes **** up. Why not splash out and spend sub £20 a year on decent quality hosting?

I would also recommend going for a professional hosting service if you are concerned about the performance of the site and uptime.
