Hi,
I stumbled upon this board while looking for what happened my site with UrgentHost. I've been searching the web and this forum for a good hosting company that offers something similar to my current one ProHosters (http://http://www.prohosters.com/virtual.html).

Basically this is what I'm looking for:
A Unix Server
- Unlimited Domain Names on the same billing account
- 100 Free Unique Ips (this isn't as important, but a few would be nice)
- Unlimited Disk Quota (within Reason) <- I would probably use less than 500mb. Current quota is 100mb
- Access to daily overall usage of server on.
Other things include: Pop email, web based email (this would be great if you offered it),

What else I would like:
Telnet access but if you can't offer it then no big deal.

I pay $3 a gig, but have to be in one of the following plans:
5gig, 10gig, 20gig, 40gig, 100gig.

Currently I am under the 10gig plan but if the price is right then I will use 40-100. I don't want to use 50 and be stuck in a 100gig plan. Ouch! I was burning about 25gigs with Urgenthost, but not with Prohosters because of the cost difference. My sites contain legal adult and non adult sites.

Thanks for reading!

Forgot to mention that I will be using ASP on my sites.

And
"CUSTOM DNS Server Entries with Registrar
(ie. ns1.yourdomain.com, ns2.yourdomain.com) "

Why would I need this? Anybody know? It's currently offered to me but I don't use it.

'custom' DNS just means you're nameservers reflect your domain name.

eg. whatever.com

has:
ns.whatever.com
ns2.whatever.com

as it's nameservers. There's not real reason you *need* to have them unless you're overly concerned about who your webspace provider is. In fact, unless you offer hosting services or domain registration yourself it's pretty pointless I suppose. Some people do like to have them though...
