Hi,

If he just wants "simple" hosting then I suspect that his ISP provides a
certain amount of web space free of charge (I'm with NTL and get 50MB of
webspace with my broadband package). If he wants something a little bit
bigger, faster and with extra features (most notably the ability to run
server-side scripts and create databases) then he will have to use a
professional hosting company.

I use and recommend https://www.terranetwork.net/index.php Their packages
start from �3 per month.

Hope that helps

Andy
