Hi!

I'm looking for affordable managed/shared hosting with IMAP and subversion.

Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks!

subversion? Is it http://subversion.tigris.org/ ?
How about your required space, bandwidth?

If you are looking for Managed Dedicated servers, I would recommend you to get in touch with Mike at Handy Networks (http://www.HandyNetworks.com).

Good luck!

Don't really need anything fancy in terms of space and bandwidth. Any sort of baseline package should be sufficient.

I'm also probably leaning toward shared hosting over managed dedicated hosting. Is this no longer the right area for this thread?

thanks!

IMAP is supported widely. I am just not sure about your subversion requirement.

gate2vn - thanks for your relpy! didn't know about IMAP being widely supported now.

So dreamhost offers IMAP and subversion but they wouldn't be my top choice. Do you have any recommendations along these lines?

thanks for your help!

WebFaction offers hosted webdav + subversion, as well as IMAP (a given).

I'm using dreamhost with both of those features enabled. I'm not a huge developer, but I do use their Subversion and I haven't had any problems with it. But I'm the only one developing. If I had a weird merge problem I'm not sure how well it would work.

Their IMAP is completely acceptable, however their spam blocking leaves a lot to be desired. I end up running their accounts through gmail accounts to get better filtering.

Their customer service is pretty good though. I had stability issues one time and they moved me to a new virtual machine and that fixed things up. Plus they have RSS feeds that will determine what services you're using and then let you know about existing outages that may affect you since you use service A on host B.

I think I can give you a discount coupon but I'm not sure that's allowed on this site.

Do others agree that "IMAP is a given"? Just curious.

I don't consider it a given, unfortunately. It's quite useful, but it seems like way more time is spent on blocking spam to inboxes than making mail useful to end users. Look at how long Google put it off for.
