Well, that doesn't really say what the requirements are, if it's just static site hosting, that's different to say a rails based web app, or a django site... database requirements, languages, etc could easily change who the recommendation would be.
Good point...
When we were hosting them, it was a mixture of static sites and a few PHP based ones (PrestaShop e-commerce, etc).
I doubt there's anything script-wise other than PHP (and it will be applications like PrestaShop not custom code).
Everything would be managed via Plesk/FTP.
It would include email hosting (IMAP/POP3) and DNS.
Off the top of my head, I'd recommend Mythic Beasts.
http://www.mythic-beasts.com/hosting.htmlMostly because they're a lovely bunch of guys.
From a quick look, I think Mythic are probably above his level. He'd
need someone like me to manage it for him (and I don't want to be involved!)
This is part of my problem: the hosting companies I know would happily sell him a VPS but he'd be largely on his own after that. At the very least he needs someone who will install and support Plesk on his server.
(Disclaimer: Erm, I'm going to be an employee of theirs in about a month...)
To be honest that's exactly the kind of connection I'm looking for...
