I use hostmonster and as far as I recall it supports all 3

Prices are good too. Something like 70 quid for 2 years. 200GB of disk space and a massive transfer limit.

Virtually all hosts will support that - take a look at www.ochostreview.co.uk for some reviews

I can give you hosting. Full FTP, mySQL, PHP et al. Can also make use of any domain names you have. Add me to MSN if you want.

I use Fasthosts, but at present I'm not too happy with them atall. I'm starting to wonder why I chose them in the first place.

3 and 6 months also available and highly competitive. Service is truly excellent.

I recommend Vidahost, as I manage about 20 or so sites with them. If you ever need support then you are not going to beat these guys, ever. I work with the internet every day, and occasionally come unstuck with sophisticated server settings - but I email them and they go that extra mile to help me out.

They've opened new email ports on their server, owing to port 25 ISP issues with one of my clients - and considered that as part of their service - never asked for a bean. And you know what? When I call them, for a query, and for some reason I can't get through - I leave a message and they ring me straight back!

You may be able to find cheaper hosting than Vidahost, but you won't find better (IMO).
