the half-price discounts are for three months (1&1 offer free for
three months, Apple free for 60 days), so that's be £60pa for 2GB /
unlimited and £108pa for 5GB / unlimited, and £192pa for unlimited /
unlimited, plus domains ...

difficult one to call - Fasthosts + 123reg / Apple + 123reg / Compila
/ 1&1 / etc ... all depends on how much storage & traffic & value of
various extras !
