I live in Perth Western Australia, and I'm looking for some opinions on these hosts:

Arachnet - http://www.arachnet.net.au/
NetRegistry - http://www.netregistry.com.au/
Hosting Shop - http://hostingshop.com.au/
WebCentral - http://www.webcentral.com.au/
Oznet One - http://www.oznet1.com.au/

I have intentionally kept to hosts within a couple of hours of my time zone in order to get better support response times (phone or email), and also because our clients are around Australia and south east Asia.

I'm going for a package using Linux with about 50Mb storage. It needs PHP and mySQL. This is just for your information so I can get an informed opinion, I am NOT asking for new hosting offers.

Thanks!

Out of those, Web Central at least is purely Windows/IIS as far as I know.

Regards

Gary

One you didn't mention is httpme. They are an outfit from Darwin, if I remember correctly. I haven't used them myself but they have a good reputation on these boards. "Aussie Bob", the main guy there, posts on WHT from time to time.

Yes, mighty toowoomba, an hour or two from where we are. .au domains are good to nail down locals but many still use .com/.net/.org names as it's far cheaper then the .au registration.
