Can anybody suggest a cheap and reliable web hosting company? Nothing particularly special is needed, just somewhere to host a site for some friends and myself.
I've decided to enter into the foray of web hosting offers, and I'd like to offer Aluggers a bargin hosting fee of £3.50 per month (or if you want to pay annually, £35) for an account which offers the following features:-
- 150Mb web space - 5Gb data transfer per month - 1 hosted domain, 1 sub-domain and 1 parked domain - 2 MySQL databases - 2 MailMan mailing lists - 10 POP3 email addresses - CGI access along with PHP 4.3.1 support - Ultra easy to install phpBB2 forums - Email forwarding and autoresponders - Email blocking and filtering including Spam Assassin spam filter - CPanel 6 control panel to manage the account - Frontpage extensions (of course, *entirely* optional) - Web stats, etc.
If you need any more web space, MySQL databases, mailing lists or whatever, then that's not a problem - I can arrange whatever is required for a good fee.
I'm working on the possibility of shell access, but for the time being there isn't. However, the site would be hosted on a Red Hat 7.3 box in the US and I've not had any problems with the provider that I'm using for this.
Payments by Paypal, Nochex, Fastpay or personal cheque/P.O. If anybody should be interested in this, please email me off list.

Martyn (trying to be an ISP again - I miss it!)
