Currently I am looking for a host that can suit my needs.

I would like:
Linux Server

Space: 1,000mb
Bandwidth: 20,000mb

Host at least 2 domains.
Point at least 2 domains.
10 ftp accounts or more.
10 mysql database or more
Unlimited Auto Responders
Unlimited FTP Access
20 Email Aliases or more
Unlimited Email Forwards
Web Mail Access
CGI and PHP

At least 99.7% uptime.
Good Support if needed.
Must have telephone # to call and mailing address (reason being: reduces frauds, most hosting companies that do not provide phone # and mailing address are frauds. Thats my theory...)

I might be asking to much for so little but im on a low budget.
$8-9 a month via paypal.

Your "theory" is wrong, even large companies are stopping phone support as the costs are too high. Surveys to our clients indicated over 90% were happy with existing support procedures. The other 10% was made up of live support and phone support.

If your host gives good response times you don't need phone support.

Yes I think you are asking too much. You won't find a decent host for that price...especially one with a # to call.

The price is right for Lunarpages.com and Hostrocket.com. Another contender is midphase.com

Neither offer phone support but still do well. Lunarpages.com is well established, HR own their datacenter...what more to say about being established :stickout:

Toll Free support is extremely expensive to keep up. That is why you see more and more hosts moving away from it. The only way a host can afford to maintain Toll Free support is to increase there rates.

What you are asking for is probably obtainable...I suggest checking in the Shared Hosting Offers area for suitable hosting as Hosting Requests are no longer permitted on the general forum.

give Hostrocket.com a try, they have their own datacenter.
