Web Host

Now that I have a pretty nice site, I'm looking into hosting.
I'm not rich and I don't need much, but I'm looking for:
  • 150mb to 1gb space
  • At least 1gb bandwidth
  • 10 MySQL databases
  • PHP
  • .htaccess
  • FTP
  • Domain
  • Sub-Domains
Along with the usual customer support and reliable servers... If I can't find anything I'll get a domain name and continue with my current host.

I HIGHLY recomend Speakeasy. I have had two different websites hosted with them for about a year, and I have never once been disappointed with them. I have their middle package, which costs $24.95 a month (not sure how high your price range is). With that package, you get 1000 MB of storage space, unlimited bandwidth, one mailing list, 100 Domain Email Addresses, 25 Email Aliases and one MySQL database. I know you asked for ten, but there might be a way around that. I recently inquired how big of a MySQL database I got with my package, and they said it's unlimited until their staff decides it's gotten too big. You also get an FTP login. Their customer support is great, they're there 24/7, and just about everyone of my service tickets were addressed within the hour I opened it.

I don't know if they have subdomains or not, but if you like, I can ask them. I hope you at least check into them www.speakeasy.net

I am IN LOVE with DreamHost. Lissa uses it. It's actually how I went around getting mine.

They offer unlimited domain hosting, subdomains, and databases. You can have up to 75 FTP users and 3,000 e-mails. They pretty much allow all that you want. Also, they give you ONE YEAR FREE of a domain name. They also host domain names for $10 a year.

If you go with the Crazy Domain Insane plan (that I have) which is $10 a month if you go by the monthly plan. Your space and bandwith also INCREASES every month you stay there. It starts off with roughly 200GB of space and 2TB of bandwith.

And their customer service is suburb, as I've used it a few times.

Dreamhost is constantly trying to outbeat the rest. All the unlimited stuff and monthly growth didn't start happening until about a year or two ago-- but OMG, it made me love them so much more.

They ruuullleee. I've switched like 3 of my friends to Dreamhost. And they have a sweet referal program where they give me $97 for every person I sign up. SO UH. Dreamhost has PAID me to use them a few times. ;D

:lol:

I heard DreamHost wasn't great unless you had dedicated (Which Lissa has, no doubt). They advertise too high over what they really give you.

Speakeasy sounds great, but they are kinda expensive. I said 10 because I like to organize things.

So it is either DreamHost or Surpass...

^How reliable is Frozen Midnight, though? Almost everyone on this forum who were hosted on Frozen Midnight had complaints.
