Question Looking for host

Hi

I have been thinking about this for a while now. After searching 100s of hosts and reading reviews, I am yet to find what I need.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

My Requirements

No restriction on installing my own software whatsoever
Linux/Unix server
5+ GB Disk Space
20+ GB Monthly Transfer/Bandwidth
Ability to have 5+ Domains on one account (sharing the same physical space on the server as they share resources)
Ability to have 100+ sub-domains (not needed now but maybe in future)
No requirements to move my domains to them ( I don’t want to loose my domain if things didn’t work out)
FTP accounts for admin/users
Access to Raw error/server logs
No restriction on (legal) content
Regular (daily) Automatic backups included
24/7 Phone support
PHP not in safe mode
.htacess
SSI
Good Statistics



Not Needed

Web building Software
Pre-installed software (Chat, BBS, Gallery, etc) (I use my own scripts)
Email features (Mailbox, Forwarding, Auto responders, Auto-responder, Catch-all E-mail Addresses, Spam Filter, Virus Scanner) (already have them with the domain registrar)
FrontPage® Server Extensions

More info: Looking for host
Thank you

Thank you Muhammad. PM sent.

Correct me if I am wrong but you are not a host, meaning that you do not own the equipment and network!?

Getting space from a reseller adds extra communication layers ie issues will have to be communicated with the reseller, reseller have to communicate them to the host, host to the reseller and reseller to the client.

That can complicate the process, especially when it is hard enough to sort things out directly with the host.

Thank you

I use a host called Hiya-Host, which I find is very good. They will allow you to do practically anything except upload illegal files or child porn.

I have to say, what could you possibly need 5GB of storage for (A large chunk of a harddrive) but only 20GB of bandwidth?

Anyway, you are looking at a large porition of a server, I'd suggest flat our renting one, everything your asking for can only possibly be found in dedicated and VPS enviroments.

Could you tell us the host's URL so we could all use it sometime in the future?
