I am planning on using a SQL Server Express 2005 instance on a dedicated web host. This will contain multiple DBs all under the 4gb limit.

What options are available for Disaster Recovery? I am used to using log shipping in SQL Enterprise 2000 but am aware that this is not available in the free Express 2005 version
I also understand that there is no replication/mirroring available

Is there anyway I can schedule a save of the transaction log and restore this to another instance (like a manually created log shipping) or any other scenarios I can use other that frequent incremental backups?

Thanks

Sure, that is all log shipping is ... take your transaction log backs to your backup server and restore them there leaving the restored database in NORECOVERY.
