Host Required

[MN-Carl]

Hi

i'm sick of free hosts .. so i wanna move up to budget hosting ;)

I don't have much ... but i wanna the following specs.

15 MB webspace ( more if possible )
PERL , PHP
UNIX / LINUX servers only
FAST network , reliable network
.htaccess to setup custom errors
2 or more POP3 mailboxes ( with auto-responders if possible )
Control panel
FTP access
Be able to create sub-domains would be nice
2 GB or more monthly data-transfer
( and cheap to buy additional like $1 - $3.50 per GB )

Thats about it .... i have about $20 - $40 to spend .. but min as possible plz.

I agree with Technics on Dim8 but I'm currently a little put out with HostYard. I recently left them because the server (not one of the newer ones) was becoming real slow and I don't think their current plan offer (1gb transfer for $59.95) is any great deal.

I have recently started with Dim8 and they have been terrific. Great support and great prices.

$20 - $40 a month i have to spend.

I have new requirements though

Min 500 MB webspace ( pref 1 GB or more )
Min 20 GB data-transfer per month
Unlimited POP3 mailboxes , auto-responders , e-mail forwarding accounts
Master CP
Users CP
Unlimited domain names hosted on my account at no extra cost
Unlimited FTP accounts
Perl , PHP , Mysql databases.

Fast ... i have more money if the host is good enough.

I'm looking into the following companies/sitez .. i dunno which to choose or if there is better :

http://www.donhost.co.uk >
http://www.zenithtech.co.uk >
http://www.webtapestry.co.uk >
and a few others :)

I recommend you stay away from Donhost. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about them. If your in the UK then Zenith Tech looks good. If you in the US then your going to pay a lot of money.

I was going to say I can offer 1 gig of diskspace/10 gigs of bandwidth for 30$ a month or 2 gigs of diskspace/25 gigs of diskspace for $50 a month.

But for what your asking for and the price you want to spend each month, you might have to look a bit further.

I recommend you go look at

http://www.hostindex.com
http://www.webhostdir.com
http://www.hostsearch.com
http://www.ihostcafe.com
http://www.tophosts.com
http://www.hosthelper.com

I am sure you will find a host that you will be happy with.

I'm looking for different kind of host now ... i found what i want ... just waiting for a few more weeks .. to see if i can afford it.

Dude, for 20-20 dollars a month, you could get way better than what you are asking for, check out www.liquidweb.com , www.ireg.com, www.site5.com, www.nuke.to

I'll also suggest F5Hosting (http://www.f5hosting.com) I'm using them myself and very happy there. Excellent support!

I'm using their Platinum package for about $20, and the features are generous. Check out their packages, and their support forum while you're there :)

Good luck,
Michelle

We've got 100's of domains on Donhost, and would be shot by quite a few clients if we ever severed ties with them. We've been with them for around a year now.

We keep them on to compliment our own services, and with not a second of downtime there since they relocated to their new datacentre 2 or so months ago.

Cheers
