hi-

i just signed up for 1and1.com hosting since i've heard good things. i'm doing shared hosting right now with the business package ($10 a month).

i need to have fulltext mysql indexing for 3 letter words (default is 4) for my database because i have alot of content that is three letters and users need to be able to search for that.

apparently 1and1 does not allow this so i'm looking elsewhere and i'm going to take them up on the 90 day money back offer.

i also looked at liquidweb based on what i've heard here but they dont allow that on shared hosting either. the cheapest thing there would be VPS for $60

does anyone have some other options / ideas to try?

my current hosting is shared and $15 / month. i was happy with them but they would go down sometimes for about an hour. then last week it was down for 24+ hours during a very busy time for my site, so i'm looking elsewhere now.

thanks for any help!
