Can anyone recommend a good web host based in the Uk?

Rackspace. My server is in their US data center, but I would guess you would get the same excellent service / support that I've received on this side of the ocean.

is there any reason the server has to be in the uk?

34sp is dead cheap and has excellent customer service...

Qbic has 15mb in Unix or Windows for £25 a year, which is nice if you just want to pop some pages up.

creativesell are great. i shopped around prior to signing up and they came well reccomended. (google search)

i'm getting 350mb of webspace and 10gb bandwidth p/m for £49.95 per year. which is great for me.

i e.mailed them for my specifics and they gave me a package to match, you may want to try the same.

my g/f signed up for 34sp and hated it. the uptime wasn't good by the sounds of it

I use DSVR, and although they're expensive, they've always seen me right.

avoid 1&1 (1and1). even though they are free, they're awful. I made the mistake of signing up for their current promotion. The interface is painfully slow. I got so sick of dealing with it that I went to change the DNS to point to the host I use for all my other domains (dreamhost.com, not in the uk) and 1&1 informs me they don't allow the DNS to point outside of their own servers. to me, they seem like the UK version of Network Solutions. evil.
