    Hola ;-)

    I want to change my hosting provider (one of Hetzner plans)
    because of expired DA license & absence of support from admin.

    Due to this, old domains works, but I can't work with anything new.
    Payed ~33.20 USD per 1 year. Searching for hosting plan, which is
    able to handle 8-10 small niche sites (my personal interests/blogs).

    Hosting provider should ensure:
    * Apache v2.0+, MySQL v5.0.33+
    * PHP v5.2.10+ (PHP v5.2.17/PHP v5.3.5 preferred), not v5.3.1
    * Working PHP Zlib/PHP XML/PHP GD2/PHP iconv libraries

    * 16-32 MB memory for site (+/-)
    * PHP Safe Mode = Off
    * Double buffering = Off

    Products I want to use:
    DataLife Engine v8.5-v9.2 (licensed),
    Media Wiki v1.16.1 (limited access);
    IPB & Orange HRM v2.6.0.2 (later).

    Server physically can't be in Lithuania/Russia/Ukraine territory.
    France/German/Netherlands/Offshore based offers is welcome.

    Thanks, ~ AlcVitRes

    The server of the shared host I offered is in another High End dedicated server. My main site is not hosted on that server. The server has 99.94% Uptime. Ya my site is still under contruction. I am working out with the hosting plan tables. I will update it soon, but my billing section is active. You can choose and order from there.

    Yes, seems like service pushing w/o even reading specs
    and I'd like to know UK-based hosting(s) stats, but with
    at least previous (99.99%) uptime level. Price is second
    factor to decide, so budget up to 48 USD would be fine.

    It depends on what is offered. For 2-3 larger projects
    (I also have other sites) I'd simply take VDS at Fornex,
    but their basic plan has Safe Mode On = so that sucks.
    I search for starter Reseller plans even. Any ideas..? :confused:

    I'm picky, so checked over 10 hostings. Tried OVH with it's 10 requests limit
    to single 25 MB DB on Basic plan. Doh! Mochahost, then - again, wasn't my
    caliber. Knowing russian, managed to get 93w.ru name with Classic packs
    array starting from 0.96$/100 MB, but at order step was asked to register

    at additional payments processing service (...). So, I switched to firms,
    also offering starter reselling plans for my upgrades. Months ago, a client
    of mine asked to find shared hosting, able to handle "slightly" larger DBs
    under DLE engine. Checked it again and joined HawkHost. For 3.27 USD

    (- 40% Off » 1.97 USD/month) I payed ~9.5 USD less with good support.
    Pointing nameservers to Seattle.. Thanks everyone for handy replies :eek:
