I use DixieSys.com. They seem to have fairly reasonable rates and good speed. They have a very personable support staff that you can reach via their IRC server, ICQ or through conventional email, trouble tickets, etc. They'd big and well equipped but still have a "down home" manner that I really enjoy.
They don't run PHP5 yet, but I posted a suggestion to set it up side by side with PHP4 for people who want to use one or the other. Disk space and bandwidth are cheap and you can add services "a la carte" depending on your needs. When asking for unlimited disk space and lots of bandwidth, you might be over-estimating your needs. You might also find a good balance in hosting a PHP-enabled website with less space/bandwidth and going with a file hosting service for the actual songs that are planned on being posted. Some places specialize in file serving and not actual web hosting, per se. I have seen some free hosting services that claim "unlimited" space and such, but you get what you pay for. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Burhan Khalid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 10:40 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Host for Mod PHP5 > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I know this is going to be tough but I need a hosting > company that supports > > PHP5, has unlimited disk space and a good amount of bandwidth with a > > decently fast connection for a decent price.
