www.phpwebhosting.com are good. Fast, good support. I run http://g-comm.net/ on them.

I used to use definitivehosting.com which was cheap, but they run 100s of sites per server.... slows things down a lot from some networks. http://euans.net/ is on their servers and performs okay though - they also offer excellent support too. No complaints about their service at all in fact.

Both are about USD9 per month, and both offer unlimited POP3 emails, MySQL DBs, etc. etc.

Cheers,
Euan.

Yep, I\'m using one of those /month hosts for my org\'s site (www.rrg-wny.org on www.intelliwebplus.com). It\'s just a virtual hosted FreeBSd virtual host setup that is locked down fairly tightly (only ssh for terminal and sftp for file xfer). They were very geeklog friendly and when I installed GL1.3.4 some of the then recent changes to GL made hosting it on virtual hosts a snap. In their case, my only issue is that they haven\'t upgraded any software in what seems to be well over a year. So, it\'s still at php 4.0.3.

I\'m looking at some others for my personal site now. The effects of a soft economy and stiff competition are playing into my greedy little hands.

PHP 4.0.3 is the last version without security issues. It\'s not always a good idea to update software to the latest version.

Nexus Webhosting - plans starting at $4 per month. All the features you'd expect. We'll install Geeklog for you for a one-time $20 fee if you'd like as well.

I completely agree! Webscorpion has been a great hosting company. The tech support responds within hours and they're very accomodating. I had my site crash once and to my delight I found out that the guys there do nightly backups. They recovered my site within a few hours and I only lost a little bit of ground. They're plans are cheap, but the best part is definitely the support.

I don\'t want to start a mudfight, but since Nexus finds it necessary to put prices in here let us compare apples with apples:

Nexus (according to their website):
USD 4/month: 200MB disk space, 2GB monthly traffic
USD 19.95/month: 200MB Disk Space, 10GB monthly traffic

Webscorpion.com:
USD 10/month: 450MB disk space, 6GB monthly traffic
USD 16/month: 800MB disk space, 10GB monthly traffic
USD 25/month: 1400MB disk space, 18GB monthly traffic

I believe we beat Nexus on most other parameters as well. Check us out!

Rgds,
Rene @ Webscorpion.com

Based on your recommendation, I'm trying webscorpion. But a) their tech support is slower now that I've paid than when I was "pre sales" - I get very terse answers after an 8-12 hour wait, and have to start all over. There's no IRC for more effective support.

b) how do you get GL running? They've got so many restrictions I can't install it with the conf_path separate from the conf_html. In fact I can't get it to run at all, because it complains about open_basedir restriction. Apparently it wants files to live in directories to which I have no write access.

P.S. pardon the 'nuketest' reference, but I haven't had a chance to change the subdomain name yet.

I switched from Prohosting (sucks at these days) to imhosted.com - I\'m hosting three sites with them. They have everything you need for cheap, PHP/SQL etc. I also like the CPanel - preinstalled phpLinks, phpBB, SQL Admin Tool, phpMyAdmin, 2 different Stats, shopping carts. ....
I was lucky enough to sign up whith the special 1000 mb plan - but features are really good in the normal plans too...

I have 5 GL sites running smoothly and my web host is <a href="http://www.joyweaver.com">www.Joyweavers.com</a>. Cheap, speed, and powerful servers.
