Wanted: Web hosting advice

2012 web hosting recommendation please -

I have a web address that I use purely for email, it's currently with Just Host. I don't use it for anything other than as my primary email account (it forwards to gmail, who I can also use to send emails with the website address).

It needs renewing - any suggestions? Good, cheap, no effort, preferably has privacy so that a whois lookup shows their name instead of mine (is that possible? I think so...)

Thank you

Am checking with those who recommended Clook - are you still happy with them?

My webhosts have gone from brilliant to dire (and arrogant with it!) in the matter of a few months and I'm looking to move sharpish.

I use A Small Orange (US based) and have done for several years. Never really had too many issues, they have a nice Cpanel interface for changing/configuring/installing web apps and also viewing logs. Costs me the princely sum of $10 a month for 5GB storage and 100GB bandwidth. I don't use anywhere near that bandwidth but the storage is nice. I may even scale it back to the $5 plan to be honest.

If that's of interest, I can do a referral which I think gives a months free (if I read this correctly)

Thanks but I'm looking for someone UK based who can provide most reliable shared hosting, with possibility of upgrading to own server in not too distant future.
