I'll second the recommendation for aussiehosts.  Been with them for 6
months and they are wonderful.  Only wanted mail hosting rather than web
hosting, but for what others might charge for mail hosting, aussiehosts
charged for entry web hosting.  Support is better than unbelievably
good.  I have no idea when they sleep.  Wide customer base as well, not
just Australian.  If you want something a little different to what their
standard plans are, just give them a yell and they should be able to
work something out for you.  (The plan that I am on is around AUD$50/yr,
and will be more than adequate for what your colleague wants.)
