Re: [SLUG] Choosing a sensible host
If bargain-basement is the goer, try www.memebot.com --- website is free up to 30M space, 100MB/month. An additional $20US fee enables ssh for a year, and ups the data allowance to 300MB/month. If you want your own domain name, you can use their DNS, also included in the price. CGI is available, as is SSI and SMX. You get what you pay for, of course; I've found until recently they've been very reliable, but currently my site is down :-( -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

SSH access with a bash shell is available, you just need to fill in a form. Their servers do however run FreeBSD, not Linux. Then again, if you want security and stability, maybe thats a good thing :-) http://www.quadrahosting.com.au/hosting/unix.html cheers danm -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

They have a bunch of basic plans[2] that would probably suit your needs. SSH access isn't on by default[3], but if you shoot them an email they'll enable it for you.

Re: [SLUG] Choosing a sensible host
NearlyFreeSpeech.NET run on BSD, and are a shared hosting service, so no root access, etc. They have PHP 4 or 5 and MySQL. They have SSH access. 20MB would cost US20c/month to store, and traffic is $1/GB on top of that.

Re: [SLUG] Choosing a sensible host
I also offer commercial VPS/hosting services; you can get ssh access to the virtual web server group if you ask very, very nicely. I've also capped bandwidth costs so you don't get turned off or charged excess if somehow you go over.

[SLUG] Choosing a sensible host
Hi, I run a site with about 20MB of files and a finite amount of traffic. We've been using a $100/100MB plan with Smartyhost which gives us SSH access and a linux server. Unfortunately, smarty's service seems to be falling off. They keep trying to move us to a server which does not allow SSH logins. And they seem unable to keep our webstats running. Can anyone suggest a better host which also allows SSH logins?
