    Hi

    Im looking for a good, reliable host. That allows me to run a phpbb database of at least 1,2 gb and still growing. It should allow mod-rewrite and have functions like a control panel , etc. Any recommendations from the professionals? ;)

    Go for a dedicated machine, I would recommend if cost is not a MAJOR issue. How much bandwidth are you looking for ? Go for a good reupted company.

    i have NO recommendation - since i am looking again for a host myself
    but
    i can recommend you what host to avoid - my present : 1and1.com ..
    because:
    virtually zero support ( no sup chat, no sup email, etc )
    mysql db crashes and db loss every few weeks ( now at least 3 times in some 5-6 weeks )

    NO daily backups of mysql db as promised - instead only every 2-3 weeks ...

    else

    i may be reading this thread to learn about recommended hosts as well
    particularly with SSH login in addition of all other usual linux hosting features
    ...

    my most preferred would be globat.com since one year already
    but
    they have NO SSH loging / no telnet neither
    oterwise they appear top in support speed ( chat and email ) and all needed features for large sites

    They used to spam my email address and many others until a year ago or so.
    That's a good enough reason for me to not sign up with them.

    As for recommendations I don't know if your requirements fit in, but I'm sure you could contact asmallorange.com and unitedhosting.co.uk as their customer service is very good. That is what counts most (well there's the price of course). They used to be very flexible, I can't see why they shouldn't be anymore. And of course they have very reasonable prices but don't tell them that! ;)

    If anyone is looking for a good host, I would recommend http://www.WebHost4Life.com/default.asp?refid=loganx

    This is the best host that I have seen for the money. I get great 24-hour support, good add-ons, for a cheap price.:)

    I recommend http://www.acdhostinganddesign.com as I have been thru 3 different hosts to run my ozeptc site and it uses the AuroraGPT script which uses heaps of processor power, you can get unmetered bandwidth for like $15 per month.. Tell John, Drew sent ya!
