Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Need Reliable PHP/MYSQL hosting

[watermark]

HI All,

I am looking for a reliable PHP 4.1 /MYSQL hosting.. any recomendations?

My site is 100% MYsql/PHP based so if one of them is down - my site is down. I do not mind paying up to $30/mo to get high up time..

I contacted few:
phpwebhosting.com - no reply to 2 sales inquiries for over 5 days - not good
http://aletiahosting.com/ - too many complaints - mysql down quite often

I also looked at http://tera-byte.com - but have no opinion..

Tks
Pax

well, I don't know too many hosts per se and none of the few I know is using PHP 4.1 yet. I heard some people had problems on upgrading to 4.1.
Can't really help you but if it must not be PHP 4.1 then you can easily find a whole lot of hosts.

Good luck!

http://www.hostculture.com is running PHP version 4.1.1

I've only been a customer for a couple of days so I don't know how reliable they are, yet.

While Tera-Byte offer a great package, and do come highly recommended if you need a lot of resources for a small budget, I wouldn't exactly recommend them if you're looking for 99.9% uptime and fast servers.

Edit: How much bandwidth/disk space are you looking for?

I hope the moderators won't mind me answering this on the public forum.

In April my company was very busy with web site design projects, developing future plans, and so on. So initially plans for a US web hosting division were dropped. We later picked up the idea again, and after a lot of research, advice and writing a business plan decided to go ahead. Hostit365 is also profitable -- and has been since day one. We're growing at over 20% per month, and we have a customer retention rate of over 95%, with many new customers coming to us by word of mouth.

Please write me at urban@hostit365.com, as this is not really a sales forum.

Edit: I just wanted to add, and this is on our site as well, that we've been providing web hosting since 1998. Furthermore, there are absolutely no plans to sell the company, our clients, or anything related to Hostit365 or Avara.Net Limited.

Edit 2: If it's very, very important that your web site basically never goes down at all, I recommend getting a managed dedicated server. The cost is higher, but because you won't be sharing the server with anyone else, you can be sure that no other user attempts to install a badly written script, as that can and sometimes unfortunately will bring down a shared environment.
