RE: [PHP] GOOD web hosting
I used Hurricane until spring of 2000 and their billing was incredibly slow, often 4 months behind. I closed/moved all accounts when they failed to close an account as requested by email. I did not know they failed to closed the account til the bill finally showed up 4 months later. I sent them a copy of my email (and following thread), but they essentially said they did not believe me and would not credit my account.I worked with my credit card company to recoup my money. I have since been using Halfpricehosting.com and hostpro.com and have been very happy with both. I learned of both companies from this list.Thanks to all who contribute their time! Ron s Chris Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/04/01 05:23PM If anyone knows of such a setup in the US that achieves that cost with that amount of space, I too would be interested. But, short of that, at least one solution is Hurricane Electric. They have a variety of self serve web plans, ranging from $10/month on up. It includes PHP and MySQL, runs on Apache, etc. You get full shell access (duh), and also 11 or more POP boxes (11 for the $10/month, then it increases as you go up).

Re: [PHP] GOOD web hosting
Seb, If you are still stuck... try http://hosts.php.net/ It's a searchable directory for ISPs that support php! It looks like it is companies that have chosen to list themselves, but the search criteria is excellent! Pick what specs you need! Also try http://www.php.net/links.php at the bottom of the page for a couple other links on this. Good luck.

Re: [PHP] GOOD web hosting
I recently moved all of my domains to www.prohosters.com and have been nothing but pleased with them. They offer unlimited (within reason): space (their plans list disk quotas but they will be the first to tell you that they ignore them) pop3 accounts MySQL Databases Domain Names. (I have 4 domains, under one $15 hosting account) usernames. (Why is this usefull? Of my 4 domains, I manage 2, and my wife manages 2... we each have seperate usernames to keep things seperate. Could also work if you wanted to resell bandwidth) 100 Unique IP Addresses (one time charge of $1 per for every IP after the initial 100) PHP3 4 Custom DNS. Your Choice of UNIX or Windows 2k Hosting. Global CGI access No setup fee And much much more but the best thing about them is their support... their support is available 24/7 via ICQ/AIM/Yahoo/IRC. They do whatever they can to keep you happy. Their pricing is based on bandwidth usage, and starts out at $15 a month for 5Gig of data transfer. They run their servers as a cluster for high performance and availability the MySQL server is seperated from the HTTP server, and they have a seperate server for report generation... if you want a Hey! look! If they can handle *THAT* site, they can handle mine type of example, they are the people who host www.stileproject.com - Original Message - From: Seb Frost [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 3:58 PM Subject: [PHP] GOOD web hosting I thought I had good web hosting, but I don't.

Re: [PHP] GOOD web hosting
Seb, If you don't mind Canadian... we use http://www.nl2k.ab.ca/ for both our business and for a number of our customer sites. Go to http://www.nl2k.ab.ca/services/website_hosting.html for pricing and details. They are a smaller company, but their downtime is very minimal (I can't recall any in the last 6 months) and the owner (Dave) is a great guy. Feel free to let him know that Michelle and Jason from TSI sent you!
