Ok guys I am shopping around for a hosting provider for my VERY small site.

Up until now I have run my servers from home using a very affordable biz level cable connection. However where I am moving to I can not find an affordable ISP that will allow static ips and running of servers at a reasonable cost. So I am thinking that maybe I will just use a hosting company for my server needs.

My biggest need is for email hosting. I require IMAPS email with atleast 500 MB of storage space. More would be better. I need atleast 10 support for 10 email accounts. I also need support for multiple subdomains. Also require mailing list abilities.

For http hosting I would prefer apache with php and ssl abilities.

One site I am currently checking out is http://www.csoft.net/index.html.en

CubeSoft, anyone deal with them much?

Also note, my traffic is very low. Just a few users, nothing heavy.
 
hrmmm

http://geekisp.com maybe?
or check out the thread in this forum with hosting recommendations...

if you dont need uber bandwidth, I could do this all for you as well for free (I host some friends websites as well) I run off of home biz cable as well.
 
GeekISP looks good, very similiar to csoft.net

Anyone who has experience with any, your comments would be welcome :)
 
just some friendly advice...
I would be very leary of anyone who offers unlimited anything. Shell accounts are also a security concern: as who knows what the other folks on the server are trying to compile or "do" on a $5.00 a month shell account...

The hosting biz is full of smoke and mirrors; as most hosting companies are resellers of resellers. its like one giant Amway pyramid out there...

I am not saying the hosts mentioned in this thread are bad, as I have no knowledge of them, but I used to work in the industry... and I am suspicious of most. Just be careful before you give your credit card number to some kid who runs a hosting biz out of his bedroom..

the hosts mentioned in this thread could be great... just be cautious
www.pair.net is one company that is legit; they own their own servers and operate their own data center.
just 0.02 :)
