That's the price per week.
It says in small letters: £623 / year, with a contract of 3 years.
That's £51=$75 a month.
Hmm, that's not expensive.
But note that you don't get support, or if you want to, you have to pay for it.

eek, I dont like saying this about hosts but from what ive seen of UK2.Net its not the fastest or most reliable of services.
Obviously this is in my opinion - feel free to search the forum and make your own choice.

Hi,
I have a friend who hosted with them, he had this to say:
1. Horrible connectivity
2. time outs
3. absolutely NO support
4. not even worth 5 pounds a week :eek:
Hope this helps. If you really need a cheap raq go with 4webspace.com or rackshack.
Regards,
Asher.

Trouble with UK2 is they appear cheap but you will find that they have lots of nasty charge's for features you expect to get out the box.
For domain names they charge £2 per month extra just for DNS management.
I had some trouble with their service and yes, they have bugger all support.
uk2 = bad news!

These guys are pretty shady.
Like mentioned above, they appear cheap to innocent users, but when the user wants to leave to better hosting they are stung with domain name transfer fees etc. etc.
I would say certainly one to avoid.
