Anyone ever try P4Host?

Their plans look GOOD - what do ya think: http://p4host.com/index.php

I have heard good things about them and they are hosting assured. Give them a try and let us know how it goes.

just signed up...

cancelled b/c of their technical inability

I'm sorry to hear that, what technical inability was it?

could not figurree out how to grant me access to my site's log files for AWSTATS....

This is Kevin from P4host. I was doing you a favor to grant you access to your apache's log. Look, I was not supposed to do that even I said on our forum that we did not support it. While I was trying to solve the problem, your attitude was not right so that I stopped helping you.

Btw, if you find a better host than us that can suit to your needs, I will have to say that you are very lucky.

Look, I am not blaming you or P4Host. Your operation looks new and based on the way you handled my support tickets, I kind of got the same feeling. The bottom line is that I am used to hosts who provide access to the raw apache logs so that one can interpret those stats using any program they wish - in my case AWSTATS.

You never even volunteered that access to the log files was not allowed. I had to dig that up on my own in your support forums long afetr we began discussing the matter. You could have stated that from the outset and then I would have never pushed for help in setting up AWSTATS, simple as that.

Nonetheless, you are right in stating that I will have a hard time finding a better host, i.e. someone with as muich bandwidth and space for less than $10.00/month. In short, I do recommend P4HOST for anyone looking for a host with tons of space and bandwidth for pretty cheap. Just make sure they offer everything you are after or expect.

Hmm, jps0...your statement is largely true regarding $10/mo for those kind of disk+BW features.

But Lunarpages.com and Hostrocket.com (also lately midphase.com) have played it pretty well and managed to carry it off very decently.

As is seen from customers' experiences, its a pretty thin line...because Gisol, Globat, Powweb and iPowerweb have failed miserably in the same area.

As far as Raw logs go, you're right P4host should have informed if you asked a direct question in pre-sales. Logfiles are rotated and managed by the CP's and I've worked with 2 CP's mainly - Plesk and DirectAdmin - both give access to raw logs to the user.

But making a custom change to symlink the raw logs would run into issues eventually since logfiles get rotated.
