PlanetHippo’s website caught our eye immediately with an ad for its ‘One Account’. With this you get 1GB of web space, 1 website hosted, 1 database and 1 email address, for – you guessed it – only £1 excluding VAT ($1.25) a month.

While this is certainly basic web hosting, it could be enough for many people. 1GB of space is sufficient for simple sites, you could run WordPress with your single database, and there are no bandwidth limits to get in your way. The single email address could be annoying, but if you can live with that, too, it seems like a bargain.

The £2.50 ($3.15) per month Pro account gives you more room to grow, with 100GB of web space, 25 email accounts and 5 databases. You get one free domain, can host up to two sites, and there’s full 24/7 support (the One account is ticket-only).

After that, the £4 ($5) Unlimited plan is Pro with the limits dropped, and the £5.50 ($6.90) Unlimited + SSL plan gets you an SSL certificate into the bargain. The second is particularly good value, as similar business-oriented plans with other hosts can cost twice as much, or more.
