I wondered whether some of you Sluggers might have some words of advice for a young fellow seeking a new Linux or BSD-based virtual hosting company.
I currently use pair.net in the US, due to the absurd price of bandwidth in Oz.
My requirements aren't enough to need a colo, so virtual hosting makes sense.
I route my mail through a server in Oz... I'll talk about that in a separate post.
Pair run a fairly tight BSD setup. They're reliable. Ping times are OK but not fantastic, they're not in Palo Alto.
I have shell access, and I can add extra domains to the account (each with their own web, ftp and cgi) for $1 extra/month each. I have ten domains there at the moment.
However:
Pair allow two mailman lists per account; i would like more. Not high-traffic; most are small project-related things.
They're not particularly friendly towards Python, which I'm just starting to enjoy.
So - any recommendations? What's your favourite virtual host? If they're aware of Python/Zope/Plone, so much the better.
