I don't understand the relevence this comment... I do not have a host yet, so I can test any scripts. I would imagine they would work the same way.

As for the search engine on the site, I am still not understanding the relevence.


I am sort of confused.

311 means clicking the search button on these forums and searching for posts by those companies

Seems to odd to be a typo as q and g on the keyboard are far off :D

Anyhows, spelling mistakes do occur and they dont really reflect the service of that host (It could very well be that the host is being ran by a person who doesn't speak english well but provides excellent service).

maybe is what meant to be "cool" by doing that...

i don't know... i am finding it very hard to find a good host for $20/mo

i use readyhosting currently for another site of mine, and the truth is, i wouldn't ever reccomend it to anyone else.

so i am trying to find another good site and i can't seem to find anything good in the thread here...

http://www.phpwebhosting.com/

you and your brother could have your own accounts for this price.

> $10 a month.
> 125mb storage (more free if you need it.)
> 5gb bandwidth (a realistic amount more free if needed. i was using 30gb per month at one point. they're easy to work with if you're not doing anything that's against their AUP.)
> OC-12 sonet ring to AT&T, UUnet and Global Crossing.
> un-metered subdomains (yourchoice.yourname.com)
> Full directory-level .htaccess usage
> SSH Access 24 hours a day
> Unlimited email addresses, forwards, etc. etc.
> Mailing lists, etc. etc.
> 1 MySQL Database (more free as needed)
> PHP4 (as an apache module and as a cgi)
> SSI
> Your own CGI-BIN
> Perl
> Python
> C
> C++
> Crontab
> Raw logs
> Control Panel
> SSL (their certificate or yours)

you get the idea...
