You can set up your own server if you want, although that would take a lot of work. One of the best web hosts is HostGator, they have fast servers and reliable service, so that's a good choice if you're looking for a host.

Fanaticalvps.com is really good, but you should know how to use a vps first

Try this too - bigrock .. They give you a lot of templates to choose from and you can start building and get your website live in minutes.

I found this link on xpango's facebook page and apparently its hosted on bigrock. - Home - Free iPhone 4 / PS3 / Torch.

I'm not sure what a vps is :L bigrock sounds good as well.

Do most hosting websites have their own website builder with templates and the like? I know some that use wordpress.

I'm mainly thinking about price when looking for a host which is why im trying weebly at the moment as it is free

Some free webhosts for you:
FreeHostia.com
000Webhost.com

Give Wordpress a try it really isn't that difficult, apart from when it goes wrong that is.

I use meirhostingdomains.com for my paid hosting, and I've started using x10hosting.com for free hosting. I used to use freehostia and 000webhost, but stopped using them. Of those 2, 000webhost have the worst support.

I used 000webhost before and i sent them a support ticket 5 times and waited a month for a reply and got nothing, their support is awful.

I often got replies directing to the FAQ. As it's free, the free support is done by forum community members, and you have to upgrade to a premium package to get proper support. I don't rate their free hosting much either. Their free servers are pretty slow.

X10hosting have been pretty good in comparison, although I've not had to raise a support ticket yet.

Oh sorry you're talking about hosting.

I use 123-reg for buying my domains. And then I use HostGator for my hosting

Hosting with HostGator costs me about £6 a month(That's for all of my websites). So £6 in total.

By the way, in your signature, if you want the picture to show up, you have to put [img] tags around the image URL.

So like this:

[img]YOURIMAGEURL[/img]

(Unless of course you just want it like a URL!)

instant traffic doesn't happen... it may just been that if you get the domain and hosting with them it will be set up automatically, to accept traffic...

I don't understand where you are getting your figures from?

The most expensive I can find at 123-reg is £6.99pm

Web hosting | Cloud Hosting | Affordable domain web hosting from 123-reg.co.uk

Edit:

Oh no I've got it.You're doing by year!

Yeah the Starter Package comes with 1 Free Domain Name (Have a feeling it has to be .co.uk though)
