Simple hosting providers in the UK?

[rhialto]

Isabelle has a small website for her therapy practice. It is just a handful of static pages. The only thing the provider adds is some simple template-based editing facility. However this costs her something like ₤ 30 a month. That sounds far too expensive for me (I'm thinking that one can have at least a full year of hosting for that kind of money). Can anybody point in some cheaper direction? Thanks!

Yes, I pay half that for my own virtual private server.

If she has control over the DNS for the domain, it'd be easy to find a free host (including me). It looks like there would be some rewriting needed, because it's not clear which CMS the current host is using.

It'd be easy to stick the content into a WordPress system, then it just becomes an issue of how much like the current one it has to look.

Thanks! Via a friend who uses them, I found http://www.freevirtualservers.com/ which is, indeed, mostly free. They mainly require the registration of the domain name to be via them. I can't find out if their site designer is indeed easy to use (no trial version as 1-and-1 have); maybe I'll need to get Isa up to speed with some local html creating program (even if only the one build into firefox) and ftp or something for uploading.
The current look is, as I understand, not very critical; it was mainly chosen because the colour scheme fits with her business cards :-)
