Hello, I looking for very reliable Unix host for couple of my software projects for next 1 or 2 years. Willing to move somewhere that you suggest in 1-4 October. I need to host 2 (two) domains.

Here is requirements:
1. Uptime ~9.999
2. Control Panel
3. Disk space >=250 MB
4. POP3 accounts >5
5. Spam filters
6. Unlimited forwarding
7. FTP with ability to resume broken uploads
8. Bandwidth >17 GB (currently using ~7GB per month but in future plan to waste more bandwidth)
9. mySQL database. At least 1.
10. PHP / Perl (and it will be very good it webhost will allow to execute Perl scripts outside of "cgi-bin")
11. .htaccess/.htpasswd Apache files should be visible in FTP (I'd like to modify them little bit)
12. Telnet or SSH access
13. Webstats
14. Must be located in USA on a at least one gigabit link (1000mbps)
15. less than $20 US per month (for both two domains), without setup fees. (currently paying $19.95 but want something cheaper)

Also some preferable features:
16. Web-based email access
17. Email autoresponders
18. Mailing lists
19. Couple of subdomains
20. Domain pointers
21. SSL
22. Anonymous FTP
23. Couple of additional FTP accounts

...I guess that's all. No preinstalled scripts needed.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Also it will be good if host will give static IP and SMTP account. Thanks.

www.myacen.com
www.solidinternet.com

Both are the same company. ;)

Am I mistaken or do you want a 9.99% uptime host? I think most hosts can give you that.

Besides Myacen, I suggest www.tera-byte.com

Ah, yes, sorry :) I meant 99.99% uptime host. ;)

So, www.tera-byte.com is so unreliable and 90% of time is down?

Also, about Ionhosting... They unfortunately does not offer SSH access:

Well, I'm still undecided... I probably will choose between http://www.dominet.net, http://www.myacc.com (perhaps I willing to may couple of $ more) and http://www.ionhosting.com (no SSH but will host with them in case of imediate support), and would like to hear some comments on these 3 host... Thanks

BTW, Tera-Byte.com looks very good. Does they allow to host 2 domains (2 sites) per one account?

Actually I think they might charge like $6 per extra domain, I'm not sure though, ask them. Ack, too bad I can't post my referral code here.

9.999% uptime. You said it twice too. What if there was a place that guaranteed 9.999% uptime?
