Re: Recommendations for Linux hosting provider?
David
horrible feeling that the spammers have killed the group and driven
everybody away..]
Hi,
I'm starting to become less impressed with one of my current hosting
providers, and am considering looking for a new host. Can anybody offer
any recommendations?
My requirements are:
* Linux hosting with PHP, MySQL, etc. I don't require an enormous amount
of webspace, but obviously, the more the better..
* UK-based
* Clueful ;-) and able to resolve any problems promptly by email
* SFTP access (or, better, SSH) for uploading files
* Secure email (POP3-over-SSL)
* Secure (https) and usable webmail
* Custom filtering on incoming email (ie, ability to reject/bounce email
to certain addresses, or forward/copy other addresses elsewhere)
* Able to pay by SO or DD or BACS (or not requiring VbV for card payments)
* Good value for money (OK, cheap, but not throat-cuttingly-so), less
than £10/month ideally.
Thanks for any suggestions!
David.

Well, I'm still here.

I saw this first time, but couldn't really suggest anything which covered
all the options you require.

http://www.tsohost.co.uk/ fits all those, I don't use them, people in other
groups have reported good things.

Dunno if they do that.

cPanel (used by TSOHost) does offer that.

Gradwell hosting over to them), so far I've been very happy with them
(I haven't transferred E-Mail over yet).

We have move some of our domains over to tsohost from Gradwell the
support is amassing compered with other IPS I have worked with in the
past, it leaves them in the dark ages compared with tsohost
Email is good you can use a catch all or filter address to pop3 boxes
outgoing mail is a lot faster than Gradwell
I do like Gradwell but if they don't sort out the problems this week
with file permissions left over form 24 Dec hac I will be moving the
rest

It sounds like you might need https://www.portfast.co.uk/services.shtml
They support IPv6 too, which should be on your list. :-)
If you have very specific requirements, you could look at VM hosting
instead from those guys or Bytemark or Goscomb for example.
Direct (off-group) contact details may get you more replies.
