Question hosting

hello. I need a web hotel with theese specs:

1. loads of space
2. loads of bandwith
3. php, perl
4. mysql
5. cheap domain
6. ftp access
7. email accounts
8. cheap! not so expensive

I've been looking at phpwebhosting (www.phpwebhosting.com) and liquid web (www.liquidweb.com). I've been told that liquid web is very good, but any of you used, or know anything about phpwebhosting? what do you think is the best decission?

do you know any other good, cheap web hotels with the specs listed?

thank you for the help!

Unhappy WARNING

Ugh,

Cheap hosting over Good hosting

I seem to have a problem, I run about 3 sites now. I have two different host that use form my sites. Each one has about the same thing, but price are not the same.

One host is 29.95 a month

the other is 19.95

The cheaper one has more space, and allows park domains

I seem to have alot of problems with the cheap domaim
here are the problems listed


MySQL 2nd week - down for 1 day...
pop3 and smtp didnt work for 2 weeks
site down - 48 hours, they said they were hack

PHP seem to work alot different from my other host

connection
behavor
speed

If you can, $30 is a good price, anything cheaper you will find problems. Anyone who offers everything like more space, bandwidth or anything great, "ISNT SO GREAT."

Good luck

Merry X-mass

tommy, this is complitely offtopic here. I am not gonna get all ugly about this, but next time be sure to post in right forums (there is a web hosting forum here you know).
Now on your problem, there are two hosts I'd consider for my needs, one www.wantsomegetsome.net another www.liveplanets.com see if you like them. If not, check out www.hostindex.com and try to search.

I am sorry about posting here in the php forum, but i thought it was ok because it had to do with hosts that many of you php programmers liked.

thank you

Pete, thats a quite good deal! Just add $8/yr for domain from godaddy.com and you're all set

edit: uhm well almost:

Q. You say that transfer is unmetered, but is there any limit to the amount I can use?


A. Though we do not have any pre-set limits, you will not be allowed to and/or over five GB of bandwidth/month.

Which is still good enough for small sites.

Another one is palmversa.com. But I am going to have to check out the phpwebhosting site. It looked interesting.

Onslaught, I am looking at palmversa.com, and I am not able to find any info on their policy about contents of the site, do you know anything about that? I was going to ask on their forum, but then thought you might know..

No, sorry about that, but I am unsure about that. This is one of the hosting sites that I have been researching. I am considering hosting a site, but haven't chosen a host as of yet. They seemed to have pretty reasonable stats, but as far as content, I do not know.
If you get a reply from thier forum, let me know and I will check out thier response also.

Cool

Hi,
I know a good host:
http://www.iwebland.com

It's free, you have 50 MB space, MySQL, PHP4, (CGI) *not sure*, FTP, and 4GB traffic!!!

Bye, Emmo

Pair Networks

If you want a good, reliable, fully controlable, web site, I suggest you take a look at www.pair.com.

Their systems run freebsd. all sites I have create and host there, have an average of uptime more than 99%. Also servers with a very fast response.

I think pair is the best. In my opinion, experience and support with them.
