I'm looking for a new host that meets the following criteria
PHP
MySQL (must not be limited in anyway)
atleast 5GB storage (the more the merrier though)
atleast 200 GB transfer
Cron Jobs
full dns access (A record, etc)
Unlimited subdomains (I won't actually create more than say ten but need the ability to create then dynamically through htaccess and wildcard dns entry)
mod-rewrite
The max I am willing to pay is $20/month however the lower the better.
Also, you must be located in the United States and have a 30 day money back policy. You must have been in business for a minimum of two years and must have a live support department (no just a forum or similar). Support must be open atleast five days a week with an emergency contact for weekends.
Please include datacenter information with any offer.
Thanks,
Andrew :-)

Also, while your budget is heading in the right direction, I would recommend boosting it if you want good tech support that is available 24/7/365. :)

By support I mean that if the server goes offline after hours I don't want to have to wait untill the next morning for it to be back up.
I probably should have phrased it as "24/7 IT staff"
As for the other, I would "prefer" that both offices and servers be in the united states. However the server "Must" be in the united states and if the office is located elsewhere the staff must either speak english or french.
The only reason I care about the language is due to a few people I work with. I personally can handle several other languages but as my group as a whole french and english are the common ones.

Andrew
basically you are asking too much for a little budget :) make sure to check if provider has REAL 24/7 support. I see many cheap hosts saying 24/7, but they are one-man firm, and cannot provide 24/7 support. Most 24/7 supporting providers I know can provide around 40 - 50 GB transfer max, even less

LYT-Michael,
You're luxury account interests me.
Could you tell me a bit about your service? Is it just the one server?

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in LytenHost's line of services.
We've been in business since October of 2004. Currently with all honesty, we are in business with one server in operation but very close to operating two as business is doing very well. We are more personal with our clients and offer a very good level of support and are happy to help in anyway.
If you'd like to know anything else let me know as I'd be more than happy to answer and even happier to serve you.
Kind Regards,
Michael Copeland

I use wildcard dns to help with subdomains on all of my sites. Will I or you're support team be able to perform the steps and changes in the following article:
http://photomatt.net/2003/10/10/wildcard-dns-and-sub-domains/
that's why I usually demand dns access and whatnot but if you would be able to do it for me then that would work just as well.
Thanks

Hello,
If my memory serves me correctly wildcard dns has already been performed on this server. So it should be ready for your use :)

Hi,
We do not offer so called "Live Help", but we offer 24/7 phone support (yes, phone support is 24/7). Of course, standard support via helpdesk is available.
Would it be ok?

Hey,
Since you said you like to take interest in growing hosts, I'll post a little info about us...
We've been hosting since November 2002 and current use 5 servers, 1 of which is for backup purposes that is located away from the majority of our operation. We have servers in both the US and UK, with plans in the very near future to purchase rack space and adding colocation and dedicated servers to our service list. This however will be in the UK...
Currently there are 3 staff that operate the UK and US side of things, a Canadian counter-part exists to, but this operates seperately.
We don't currently offer phone support, but will when we start to offer colo and dedi services. Emergency SMS numbers can be provided though. We can provide MSN addresses for instant support.
Anyway, we can offer you the following:
20GB Space (we can reduce this if you want to lower your fees)
200GB Bandwidth (we don't oversell our services, you will actually be able to use this!)
Cron jobs
Full DNS access
Unlimited Subdomains
Mod_rewrite
And all the usual...
for $14.99 /month
This will be hosted on a server in ThePlanet datacenter, located in Texas.
If you are interested in this offer, or require further information, pleae don't hesitate to contact me at peter@real-hosts.com
Thanks,
Peter Verrill

Well, some people understand live support like a service, when you open webpage and see something similar to "Click to chat Live" and you may have a conversation like via ICQ for example. So I just didn't want to confuse the people

What about support staff that have been about for that amount of time as you asked for that too.
I have knocked them too but with the right staff they can provide a superiour service.
