I am/was on Eclipse Flext500 which in theory is 512kb unlimited (no FUP/Limits) connection but it sucks. Also the email server goes down 3 times a week!

Also heres a problem I've been moved onto a LLU and am connected @ 1319 / 572kb so this means im on a 1mb connection now or am I on max and its connected more than 1mb?

So I would like a new ISP, I would like no FUP/Trottling but instead just a cap of atleast 8gb cheap is good but would prefer quality!

Also I would now like to have a seperate email address as in my own website type thing so if i change ISP again then I keep email same, would like the running and storage for it and say a little webpage space (50-100mb) price not too important but less is good.

Also will I have a problem from migrating LLU > Normal/Other LLU?

If you're on Max at those sync rates, a) you're on Max Premium (since ordinary Max only goes to 448kbps upstream) and b) your line is extremely poor.
It's much more likely you're on LLU.

Buy a domain and some kind of hosting. Totally separate from the rest.

LLU-LLU probably more hassle than LLU-IPStream, and the latter could be hassle enough.

If you're only doing 8GB/month, what about Zen Active - £24.99 a month for 20GB/month (and £1.50 a GB thereafter)?
 
Did see Zen just seems a lot of money and looking around there seems to be problems with some peoples pings..

And yup my line sucks :(

Also any sugestions on hosting? Zen seems really expensive for it

No significant problems, unless you live in London and are pinging a host in London (for London, read the SE, I guess), because Zen terminate their Centrals in Rochdale.

See here and here.

It would need to be to only be getting 572kbps out of Max Premium, which is why I suggested it's more likely you're on LLU.
 
Right also seen;

AOL - They were okay when I used to be there unlimited and good pings and also 1 month contract for migrations

UKOnline - £10 a month ?!!!

One last question what is the connection seed for a 1mb connection?
 
home1000 does 1152/288 kbps. Suspect the majority of ISPs are going to push you in the direction of Max now though.
