Take a look at The Kiwi Webhosting Company: http://www.kiwiwebhost.co.nz/webhosting.htm They are now owned by Orcon, but they seem to be still offering their original service, which is not badly priced. Their $1-a-week plan is good value if you have a small amount of web content and a handful of email addresses. You can increase the level of service easily (simply pay more!), and they will also register your domain name for $39.95 per year. The advantage is in having an NZ based supplier. I use them for my 'tinkering' website and I have a recommended them to a couple of others who have never had any issues with them. I am quite tempted by these guys though: http://www.nosupportlinuxhosting.com/ U$1 per *month*, but you do all the work.
