my suggestion would be to offer more bandwidth, needs to be about a gig/100mb of space, that's always been one of the more effienent bandwidth per space ratios. Other than that they look alright, I'm not familiar with the exchange rate of $ to £ but whatever is economical for you is what you should use.

Its about $1.42 to the £1

So the starter is - £18.95 per year ~ $27
And the pro is - £27.95 per year ~ $41

My suggestion is not to sign up for a donhost account (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13729) and attempt to offer this here, nor anywhere. Pricing is too cheap for the bandwidth offered, but that's just my opinion. Good pricing for a host that doesn't plan on expanding in the future or getting their own servers, hiring support and tech help.

The new price is better, your bandwidth to space ratio is better and the price isn't too bad, you should consider offering CGI/PERL and/or PHP if you want to attract the professional style web people ;) just a tip though as it does require a good system to run all that stuff.
