As you may know, I am based in the UK for part of each year. This has lead to me doing some considerable work on optimization for UK search engines, especially uk.msn.com.
One of the major considerations that many of my competitors overlooked is the location of your webhost. Search engines in the UK give more weight to websites hosted in the UK, and with MSN especially this advantage has been enough to help me claim many number one slots for competitive keywords.
Web hosting UK is traditionally expensive, but FreeZone.co.uk have UK based servers where you can get a full featured account for just £1.49/month.

If you are a budding web designer/developer who is a bit cash-starved then FolderSpace.com have a treat in store for you. They are offering free website hosting accounts with many of the features that you would only usually get from a fully paid account. PHP4 and mySQL are included, which is great if you are looking to build a dynamic database driven website, and Perl, Java and CGI are there too. FolderSpace.com even give you a free subdomain to work with.
If your website grows and you need even more space and features (such as shell access, Ruby on Rails support etc) then FolderSpace can cater for your growth. They have a range of well priced hosting accounts to suit all different needs, including a reseller account which allows you to host multiple websites of your own, or to set up in business as a web host reselling space on the FolderSpace server.
FolderSpace are one of the first hosting companies to offer full support for Ruby on Rails, the new toolset that many web designers and developers are talking about. There is detailed information available about Ruby on Rails on the site. Check out this excellent webhost.
