I've been looking for DAYS for a new web host. I loved the one I
currently use until they changed servers (supposedly, it was to
be a better one, but not on my end. I'm still having some
problems, and what really ticked me off was that they changed
the web control panel from MonsterControls (I *LOVE*
MonsterControls!) to that Cobalt Raq thing. I avoided that when
I'd previously searched for a new host, only a few months ago!!!
Here's what I need from a host:
* Must offer at least 300MB for under $30
* Must NOT offer unlimited space or traffic
* Must allow me to use the space for commercial purposes
* Must allow adult content (I don't want censorship, barring
things illegal, so I'm free to say what I like, including cursing,
sexual language, etc.--I write adult fan fiction and want to post it
on my site, for example--and I want the option to put up an adult
site later if I choose)
* Prefer MonsterControls web control panel, but I'm flexible, if the
software is good, like CPanel
* Must NOT use the Cobalt Raq web control panel
* Prefer unlimited POP email accounts, but at least 25
* Must have unlimited email aliasing and forwarding
* Must include FTP
* Prefer to have Telnet access
* Must allow me to put up my own CGI scripts
* Must include latest version of Perl
* Prefer to have many features, like databases, Real server,
shopping cart, etc.--I may not use them now, but I'd like it if I had
the option; HOWEVER, a personal site that I can use for
commercial purposes is just fine, and I do not require an
e-commerce site
* Must have a free trial period or money-back guarantee
* Must have access to raw log files
* Must have web statistics
* Must allow password-protected directories
* Must have domain name registration for under $25
I think that's it. If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate
it. Thanks!
* Prefer to have domain name parking, preferably free
