Hey all
Just wondering, can any of you help me with hosting packages? This is what I need (UNIX prefereably)

More than 250 megs of space
Multiple FTP, POP3, Mailing Lists, Forwarders etc..
CGI, SSI support
Site statistics

This is what I prefer:
Subdomains for little or no extra charge
Web Control Panel
Decent tech support
Cuztomisable 404
Password protected directories

I'd like something around the $20 a month ...or around $250 annually

anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking of getting an account with communitech through a reseller...r they any good? And any comments about www.iwpp.com ? Anyone heard of www.pcisd.com ? The latter offer a 30 day trial BEFORE payment...

PCISD over charged my credit card for an account that I cancelled and now ignores my e-mails. This has happened to other people too, they are just not paying the overcharged money they owe.

Read my previous posts for more on them.

The reason I left was because of downtime, sluggish responses and they do not backup anything. When the server crashes, you are left in the dark.

You can go here http://www.pcisd.com/cgi-bin/Ultraboard/UltraBoard.pl to see our downtime (less than 1% I think)Some of it being server crashes.

You can also go here to read up on our backup system for major issues (problems)

Not sure what sluggish means but our response time is above average.

Try Virtual-Cities.net I am hosted with them and their service is great, I am also planning to get hosted at LinuxWebHost.com but they don't provide much tech support as I have heard I don't need much support anyway.

Hey visit http://www.canaca.com. I am sure you will not regret it. They are only 22.95/mth with no setup fees and they offer all the features you want. 350mb space, unlimited data, etc. etc.

let me know what you think

Thumbs down

Careful of canaca.com for a couple of reasons:
They are resellers for communitech.net (check their IP address--it's owned by communitech.net). They also offer plans that are identical to the communitech.net reseller plans. This could be a major problem because if you buy from them and then they allow you to resell under their resellers agreement, and then they either leave communitech.net or do something that gets them kicked off, you lose not only your account but all accounts you have resold (because canaca had resold them to you and they have to keep their account open in order for your account to remain open). They also post numerous questions in communitech's support forums (including one complaining about communitech's name being in the header of an email that went to their clients):

I also would think that our clients got the same thing.

What troubles me most about canaca.com is that they also operate under the domain name nortel.to. Nortel is a large communications corporation that will probably not take kindly to some reseller of web hosting using their good name and reputation to resell hosting while pretending that they are the actual owners of the servers. When the real Nortel come down on canaca.com's nortel.to shell, well...I'd hate to be depending on them to be reselling services to me so that I kind resell them to some poor slob who doesn't know enough to thoroughly check out their host...
Just my 2 cents.
