    Recommend a good web hosting service

    Firstly, I apologise if this is the wrong forum - admins, please feel free to move it!
    Wasn't sure where else to put it.

    A friend of my Dad's is looking for a low-cost web hosting service in order to put up a very simple website to advertise their B&B. They are not especially technical, so need a service that is easy to use, including setting up very simple templates.
    The web site only needs a few pages, with photos and contact details, no booking service required.
    I don't expect the traffic would be very high.

    Ideally support need to be UK-based as well I think.

    Any thoughts or experiences?

    Many thanks (in advance!)

    I recently had to migrate my old wordpress account. After some googling and reading up I ended up with http://www.zyma.com/

    Less than £20 a year for Unlimited everything and a free .com domain. Does the job for me

    Holy crap that's a good deal. I'm with 1&1 at the moment who haven't ever let me down, but certainly are not nearly as cheap as that site, and doesn't come with all those extras. How long you been with them for?

    I am however tempted just to get a raspberry Pi and run everything off of that as it'll also give me direct access to the server which obviously has some massive benefits.

    I use https://www.openshift.com/ because it's free... for a Wordpress site. I've about 15 sites running on 15 instances.

    It's meant for Dev use, but sufficient for my needs (and I would imagine most other folks needs). Because it's aimed at Dev's it isn't that straight forward to configure, but it isn't tricky either.
