Slight TJ: Crisis!!!

Any suggestions?

# I need to host two domains
1gb storage (at least)
and decent bandwidth allowance (not sure how much i need, but my current one has bombed out at 250MB)

I don't use them myself, but fasthosts (http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/) seem quite good, and they might do the package you're after.

# dreamhosts
if you go to www.mictoboy.co.uk
and click the tiny banner, i get a kick back

they've been nothing but good for me, and mystery bob uses them too, so they must have something going for them

# Looks good...
toss up between chunky up front payment, huge package (way-hey!) and micto's undying love

or cheap and cheerful fasthost...

# And
www.strato-hosting.co.uk/ if you want to go really cheap. Don't know how reliable they are though. Got a couple of mates using that one and it seems to all work just fine.

# someone else mentioned that
they're US based. would that be an issue for me in the UK, d'yoyu think?

# Not normally,
and you'd get a good exchange rate. There might be issues if you're hosting porn though. ;)

# The only one issue I can think of is if you need to use their phone support.

It might cost you a bit to phone Americaland.

# They handle almost everything via e-mail
quite effectively.

# No, I don't think so
Although they don't host the .nl names themselves. I have to do that somewhere else.

But you can easily fit about 20 websites on one package (I have about ten now on one acount, and use only about 5% of the disk space). They're quite reliable and their service is grand.
