Need hosting with good support, robust email

I am looking for the following:

15 GB transfer
500 MB disk (I think this is about where I am)
Perl/PHP/mySQL
dedicated IP including for email
quick detection and fix of outages including email
ability to run background jobs sometimes (to send newsletter)
responsive 24/7 support
few/no restrictions on email sending (other than not spamming)
fast of course!
some kind of stats

I would prefer an option to call support in an emergency, although I will normally use email/trouble ticket first. I have had outages of 4 days because trouble tickets relied on email which was down and there was no other form of contact.

I would prefer a company which has been in business at least a few years and has at least a few sysadmins.

Shell access is not absolutely required but I do use it occasionally.

I send a monthly newsletter to subscribers who have requested it, currently about 8200. This newsletter is very important to my business and the reason I'm looking for a dedicated IP is so I can get off blacklists and stay off. When I went to my current place, a few domains were blacklisting my (shared) IP and I got support to get that cleared up but the next month the IP had been blacklisted again. I know a certain amount of this is inevitable but I am trying to do everything I can to make sure that the newsletter actually gets to the subscribers.

I'm not ready to go to a dedicated system and I'm always ready to save money but I have been with some of the least expensive hosts and feel that I have probably gotten what I paid for. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount now if it will get me good performance and good support.

If I have left anything important out, please say so! Thanks.

Thumbs up



I would recommend checking out:
Dreamhost.Com

Use the promo code: SRVR87

Get $87.00 off and receive a year of hosting for $25!!!

200GB Disk Space
2TB Transfer
Both PHP4/PHP5
Unlimited Domains
Unlimited MYSQL Databases
SSH Access

We host all of our domains there and absolutely love it. Originally looking at the reviews I was worried but I figured I'd purchase just to see, it was cheap enough... Been with them 6 months and I can't complain, 100% uptime and the support is great.

Should you need shell access, a support ticket would have to be filed.

I have looked at Dreamhost but the email policy is too restrictive for my daily use, let alone sending a newsletter.

I am looking for a dedicated IP address because of problems I've had with a shared IP address being blacklisted. My list is double opt-in and my mailings include an unsubscribe link which knows the recipient's email address (they don't have to enter it) so I feel that if the IP is blacklisted it's because of someone else. Just trying to maximize delivery of my newsletter!

I will look into the other hosts suggested! Thanks all.
