They're hosting is incredibly cheap, and they do provide SSH access
unlike other similar services. Infact most people use their one click
CPanel installer to have smtp, https, and php, and postgres/mysql set
up. They have one click installers for mailing list software as well,
but I have not used them. I just use them for spinning up wordpress
quickly.
I also just like getting a VPS from something like Digital Ocean or AWS
because of the transparency and simplicity, but the support there would
be non existent, and you'd have you set up everything yourself, which
might not be worth it depending on the requirements.
The thing one needs to know about Digital Ocean and AWS is you will also
need to create and configure a mail server and in the case of AWS you
might have to configure a DNS server as well.
I like hostGator and have used them. At one point however they where
overloading their web servers which I think they may have long resolved.

Hi all,
For many years Troubleshooters.Com has been hosted by the spectacular
Futurequest in Orlando Florida. Sadly, because of hurricanes, the
pandemic, inflation, and insanely skyrocketing rents in Orlando,
they're going out of business within a few days, so I need a new web
host.
What I absolutely need:
* Reliability
* ssh access
* Already installed http, smtp, and firewall
* At least 500 MB of space
* Somewhere around 5 GB transfer per month
* A reasonably effective way to get tech support
* Ability to have Javascript in my web pages
* A way to quickly redirect my whole site, such as .htaccess.
I need this ability because I need to shut down before every
hurricane. To see an example of what I'd redirect to, see
http://troubleshooters.com/troubleshooters_during_ian.htm
What I'd also really like:
* A non-distopian Terms of Service
* Ability to run server side scripts (Perl etc)
* Ability to serve https
* Ability to serve multiple domain names with one contract
* Good mailing list software that doesn't throttle too much
I prioritize the preceding over price. Price is a secondary concern.
I used Bluehost in the past, but found them not good enough, so I'm
hoping for somebody better than Bluehost.
If anyone knows of any good web hosts, please let me know.
