Most hosting companies are located in US and most of the prices are quoted in US dollar, but if you need a web hosting company in UK and pay local currency then maybe PickAWeb could be something for you. They offer hosting accounts in UK with most features you would need to build a modern web site.

All their account got cPanel as the hosting control panel and you get features like MySQL, PHP, Perl, CGI. If you select one of the more expensive packages you also get forum, wiki and blog software installed. Most of these softwares are free on the web so you wouldn't really need to upgrade just because to get them installed, but more in the case you need more web space and data transfers.

Their smallest hosting account got 1,000 Mb web space and 10,000 Mb data transfer for £2.98/month. If you pay for one year at once you also get your domain for free, but please make sure it's registered in your name. If you pay monthly their domain names are kind of pricey at £8.99/year for a simple .com domain.

The only downsides I've found is that they only qoute their prices in GBP and their domain name pickaweb.co.uk is registered to a private person instead of a company that is the normal way when companies register domain names
