What do you think is the best way to go?

Currently I am working on some opensource projects which haven't been released to the public yet.
I want to host the projects websites.
However I think that the traffic will be about ~15 GigaByte per Month.

I need some developer tools like...
linux commons...
shell
cvs

and..
php
mysql
apache
perl

I don't need mutch webspace..300 mb would be fine
Just a realy fast connection (prefere us noc)

The projects don't need many server ressources.

About the Projects.. (all gnu)
1. again a Bullettin Board System which will differ from the existing ones *g*
2. something like webmin, but for the "end" users...
...and some other ones...secret at the moment *g*

I am experienced in Linux administration...Just the money is the Problem.

Currently I don't want to recieve any offers.... Just an answere =)

thanks

If money is a problem I think you should go with shared hosting.

There should be shared accounts out there available for no more than $30 a month that will have everything you need.

One thing I've noticed though is that a lot of webhosting companies restrict their systems in a way that is bad for programmers. aplushosting.com has chmod 700 on many binaries (e.g. the "find" command doesn't work) and on some include files needed for compiling software. canaca.com doesn't give you a real shell - instead when you log in, you're running a perl script that they coded and it restricts you to a subset of commands.

If you go for a shared account, make sure to e-mail the webhost and make sure they allow everything you want to do. Webhosts that have a 100% refund trial period would help too.

Another option is a "virtual server" - this is in between a shared account and a dedicated server. It'll typically run $100-200 a month. I host my site animewallpapers.com on a virtual server at servercentral.net. On these, you get access to Apache configuration files and can create accounts (but it's not real root access - I cannot create SHELL accounts, only FTP/mail, and I cannot bind ports <1024). I bring these up because they're not as restricted as shared accounts mentioned above.

If you have time to shop around and want to conserve money as much as possible, I'd suggest trying to find a shared account on a host that can do what you need.
