I'm looking for
-10 gigs of Bandwidth/month
-Unix/apache, Full CGI, Perl 5.004+
-100 mb+ space
-ability to have 4 seperate domains point to subdirectories for not more than $5/month extra, so that all 4 appear as seperate sites to browsers. (i.e. not the ***** index.cgi method which I think looks pretty unprofessional as the visitor's address bar reveals all are the same url.)
-and I need all of this for ~$30/month

Any comments on any of the following?
-Fastgraf http://www.fastgraf.net/
-GSP services http://www.gsp.com/
-Futurequest http://futurequest.net/
-CWI http://www.cwihosting.com/
-Can-host http://can-host.com/
(waiting to see if they support multiple domains or not.)

Thanks for any opinions - much appreciated.
(and sorry to post the grocery list)

Hello sir,
You can take a look at our bronze or silver packages at: http://services.can-host.com/?url=hosting . I beleive we can offer pretty much what you are looking for. Furthermore, 5 extra domain pointers / domains / vanity domains can be ordered for an extra $5/month.

Take a look around and let me know if you have some questions.
:)

Hi there Jeff,

You may want to examine: http://www.ultraspeedusa.com

We are about to offically open, but I am sure we can accomodate you at this time.

We can extend our Corporate package to ecompass multiple domains as you requested...
(for no extra charge)

Best Regards,

Can-host looks pretty good, especially given the helpfullness of Félix who replied to my email in just a few minuts. (although they are 12 hops vs. 10 for two of the others...)

One thing I'm wondering about though -- are there any complications which might arise from choosing a host in Canada while my visitors are 75% from the US (25% from MI, and 50% out of state) and 20% from Australlia & New Zeland?

Jeff,

Apart from Can Host, you will find FutureQuest to be excellent for its reliability and support. Their support forums (teeming with users) are testament to their support and success.

Or you can look at my current host's 'bigger' packages. Below10Host are resellers of Alabanza and offer excellent pricing. http://www.below10host.com/bigger.htm is the larger plan page, and it gives you more than what you need (except for bandwidth).

There shouldn't be much of a complication at all in choosing a Canadian host over US hosts. Generally it's only an extra hop or two and a few extra milliseconds, but that's it, so it's not particularly noticeable.

Speaking of Canadian hosts, you might also want to check out Your-Site at http://www.your-site.com - although they run Zeus, they also have excellent support and uptime, and you can customise the plan to precisely what you want. See how you go.

As for us Aussies, we don't mind, since the majority of access we do is to the States anyway - we're used to it ;)

I personally recommend can-host im about to move 2 clients websites there and they have so far been very good. I've not noticed any downtime there everytime you try get to there site you can.

Go for http://fastgraf.net

Their virtual pro includes all you need.

Adam, you have experience with Fastgraf? I haven't heard anything about them good or bad, but they look good...

Also, I just noticed Burst.net who offer 20GB of bandwidth (!) although their price is slighly higher (not that the others are out of the running as I still have a week to decide.)

Thanks everyone for your comments.
