Choosing a hosting provider can be a challenge with a wide range of offers and systems available. Joomla! runs best on a LAMP stack - that's Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. These are all Open Source technologies and widely used in the hosting industry. Wikipedia Info
Running on the server platform will be a Hosting Control Panel. My preferred choice after using several is WHM/Cpanel. Cpanel allows you to manage your sites and email configuration in a simple and logical way.
If you are looking for a UK based hosting provider then you should have a look at the offers from WebHosting UK . That is where this site is hosted.
