If £300 a year is equal to $40 per month (unlimited domains), then I
highly recommend imeme.net : they are specilized in zope hosting, but
they offer apache, php and mysql too. (I didn't tested php yet but well,
it must work:-)

The system is a jailed freebsd, this mean you have a virtual root
account, this also means you can install anything you want on the server
(providing resources usage blabla...), or even recompile your own apache
I guess.

For those $40, you have 5 gb per month of bandwidth, and you pay $10 per
aditional gb per month. If my brain is working, with 5 gb, at 40kb per
page, you would have 125.000 pageviews.

If I remember well you can ask for a trial too.

Usual disclaimer : 1. I'm using it for zope hosting, and I didn't test
the php support so... 2. I'm in no way affiliated with them. 3. If you
want an alernative, try cedant.com, altough you won't have unlimited
domains for that price.
