How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?
I am working on a project that will be released as open source in the latter part of the year. I am starting to think about how the accompanying website will be hosted and would greatly appreciate some advice.
Requirements:
Domain #1
Information about the project itself (just pages and pictures).
Documentation / Wiki
Forums
Download of project source (approx 3MB archive)
Download of various themes and community contributed content (est. sizes 10KB ~ 512KB).
Domain #2
Primary company website that offers products and services. This will be primarily pictures and pages.
What kind of web hosting would be best for a project like this. I am working on a very tight budget and can only afford to spend up to £250 per year for hosting this. I was considering using some sort of VPS hosting.
I found the following companies which seem to offer around this price range, but they have very mixed reviews.

http://www.eukhost.com/
Godaddy UK
uk2 . net
My company is based in the UK, how important is it for me to use UK based hosting? There are plenty of overseas hosting companies that are considerably cheaper.
When it comes to bandwidth, how many downloads will bandwidth: 100GB get me?
Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!
