Shared cPanel php5 linux hosting wanted ASAP!

Hi,

I own and operate dozens of sites (including EstiBot.com) and I need a new host (shared) for some sites that I'm planning.

My requirements - the following are absolute.
----------
Linux
cPanel (classic!)
MySQL
Php 5
Unlimited addon domains
Complete DNS management
Shell access (ssh)
----------

...and the other usual stuff, FTP access etc etc

Cheap domain registration, AND a working domain control panel that keeps itself updated!

A named customer support representative who deals with my requests personally.

Room for growth and easy upgrade: should I need to upgrade to virtual dedicated or dedicated, I want it done smoothly by collaboration of my credit card and the hosting company, not by my own manual work.

CHEAP starting package - I'm not going to use this for EstiBot, but some lower traffic sites.

On my part - if I am truly happy with your offer and the service, I can offer a prominent affiliate link on EstiBot (15,000 hits daily, highly targeted traffic) for your hosting company - sure to bring more customers for you in the future. I only promote services that I trust. I will also write a review about your servicec on http://estibot.com/hosting-reviews.html

I would prefer offers here directly from the hosting company representative, NPr recommendations also welcome complete with affiliate links, but please state whether you represent the company officially or not.

What say you - my requirements too stringent for a shared package?

Tell me what you CAN offer, and at what price. Smooth operation is everything, cheap is good, but it doesn't matter to me whether the cost is $5 or $30 per month as long as I get my money's worth.

The following companies are out of the question (not because they are bad, they aren't, but because I am using them already and I need a different one)
-bluehost
-godaddy
-hostgator
-theplanet

Oh yeah, No PM's please!

Thanks!!
Josh

I can personally recommend one host ( apthost.com, I am a customer ) which I think meet your needs, except for the domain registration, but personally I don't like to register names with the same company as my host.

I've also had a few discussions with hostforweb.com, they seem very helpful and professional, and I think they also meet your requirements.

I'm also a customer of hostingzoom.com who only allow 20 domains per account, but they do provide clustered failover with their shared hosting.

I've been researching hosts who provide unlimited domain hosting, and have made a ( very ) mini site on it at unlimitednamehosting.com

p.s. to any other posters: i don't recommend you put affiliate links in the thread even though the OP has said it's okay. it's against NP rules!

Thanks again

Hello Josh,

It would be bit difficult for you to get a hosting provider offering SSH access with shared hosting account. For SSH Access you will need to opt for VPS Hosting.

I would have thought so too, but hostforweb show SSH access on their shared hosting feature list and apthost allow it on request.

I'm quite willing to consider VPS (Virtual private server?) hosting as well if the cost isn't too high

SSH access is very easy to abuse if you know how. May I please know why SSH access is required before I grant it?

Jailed shell... Use that. And monitor the use of the SSH users. Possibly require them to have been atleast 30 days with you / drivers license scan to verify identity. Things like this scare away abusers of SSH because they don't want commitments and their ID being verified.

I went for AptHost.com, thanks -NC- !

 

[-NC-]

No problem! I've about 20-30 sites there now and no complaints. I hope you have a good experience too

Apthost hasn't been very apt yet...first they didn't accept my credit card, oh well that happens sometimes I guess ,but then they set up the wrong nameservers for me and I've had to explain myself very articulately to drive my point home....just sitting now and waiting for support to get a grip..

Ah well, there's no such thing as a problem-free webhost, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, hoping they'll improve

Sometimes these things happen when accounts are in the process of being created. Give them another chance, I'm sure they should be alright.

What can I say... sorry, thanks for letting us know, they've been problem free for me

Sometimes these things happen when accounts are in the process of being created.

imho, "things happen" isn't really good enough. I won't be recommending them again in a hurry.

 

[estibot.com]

Well... the nameservers still don't work, and I am now hosting one single website with light content on my reseller account, with full bandwidth allocation, and it's very slow.

So far, I'm really disappointed - not your fault -NC-, you have had good experiences and you kindly recommended based on those.

Finding a good host isn't that easy..
