demon web hosting

I use Demon as my ISP and also have my own domain, currently hosted by a company whose cheapness is showing through.
I am considering a move to Gradwell for hosting and have also had a look at Demon's services, although I suppose there may be advantages of keeping ISP/hosting separate.
Demon's basic web hosting at £10 per month doesn't mention mail hosting, does anybody know if this is/can be included? Anybody willing to comment on how good Demon's hosting is?

Starting my own web development business

I am planning on "going it alone", and starting my own web development business. I could do with some advice on hosting though.
I plan of course to develop sites for various clients, so am I right in thinking that some kind of reseller scheme would be the best way to go? Or at this stage would it be better just to buy a seperate hosting account for each client's site?

The reseller schemes do seem like a nice balance between dedicated server hosting and buying individual accounts. And of course I could add web-hosting packages to my services. BTW I am after W2K hosting (sorry, but I come from an ASP programming background!).
From browsing the web it seems that fasthosts, hosteurope and the like are best avoided. I quite like the look of catalyst2, but I struggled to find reviews or opinions on them. Any recommendations?
