I'm looking for a professional, reliable, top quality web host that has:

1: Unix shared (or maybe Virtual dedicated server)
2: FTP (I Want to build my site with Golive or Dremweaver)
3: Adult (yet legal) content allowed
4: CGI, Perl
5: No banners or publicity
6: Unlimited password accounts for users
7: Secure credit card transactions possible (in case I want to make a pay-site in the future)
8: Online control panel
9: 24/7 support

...and I'm willing to pay untill $50/month.

I was thinking of lunarpages.com, but if you can recommend me anything "stronger", or if you can advice me on my choices, I'd be most grateful!

Thanks!

Try posting in the hosting requests forums..

If you haven't done so already, see user's comments on lunarpages here. (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=938280&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending)

There are many hosts with good, strong reputations here. Read thru the forums a bit to get a feel for some of the hosts that have proven themselves and earned a good reputation.

I don't have any personal experience with the host in question, but you may want to look at some of their current client's comments on their user's forum located here. (http://www.lunarforums.com/)

Best of luck with your decision.

what kind of bandwidth would your site require? Is there any specifics you would like? For example do you value uptime more than prices? How about the amount of space required?

you will get more reply if this post in Request. I'll see you down there. :)
