What I need :-

Minimum 1.5Gb space.
cgi, inc Perl modules installed promptly upon request, ideally the ability to do this myself.
Php/MySql.
Bandwidth negotiable-large.
Competent technical support.
Unix server.
Full telnet shell access.
Anonymous FTP support
Stats reporting with *both* access and referral logs.
control over our own e-mail alias file
ability to run a crontab
Decent hardware, especially processor.
Ideally, control over most aspects of our site, including but not limited to, the addition of new users/email addresses/ftp accounts, the addition of new subdomains, database management features, etc etc.
As someone technically competent, the more control I have over my own server, the less technical support will be needed, but tech support should be available and more importantly knowledgable 24/7.
Flexible, reliable and friendly host.

What I don't need.
Anything to do with Ecommerce. I don't plan to sell anything through my website, at any time.
Anyone who shuts down my site before notifying me of problems, anyone who says I'm imagining problems, anyone who lies about their services, problems or other.
Any host who supports spammers or porn sites.
Anyone who is a reseller for ***** or other disreputable firms. I will check up on this, so don't bother replying if you meet this criteria.

Anyone who knows of a host that may meet at least MOST of those requirements, please let me know either via email, kulsu@hotmail.com, or by replying to this thread.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but 155mb is not even half what I need..

My site as it stands uses 1200mb.

You might want to check the Offers forum here at WHT.
You might find someone offering such a plan there.
Good Luck

Candie --> Delete your post; then read the rules.

I suggest a dedicated server....

I'd say Ventures Online for the dedicated server then.

I know the perfect hosting company for you. They can offer you everything that you are looking for.

You can get 155 mbs of disk space

Umm... Just a tad off. :D

I know Burlee offers a 1500 MB account, but it's $500/month. For that much, you're better off getting your own server at one of the more reputable hosts here.

Now that I think about it... I believe ***** offers 2 GB with their $19.95/month account. *grin*
