I have just found this service http://webkeepers.com
I think i will give their medium service a try on the one month contract and see how it goes. The 4gb version seems very reasonable even on the monthly rates and better still if i decide to stick with them for a year. My only worry is that i am in the uk and so will most of my visitors/customers so latency might become an issue. I also have another option. I have virgin fibreoptic broadband with 120mb download and 10mb upload and a static ip. I have tried pointing my domain name at my home router before and it works fine. The only issue here is that i would have to invest in a new pc and the computer room shares a wall with the bedroom so the fan noise might become an issue at night. Will give webkeepers a try and report back with results.
