I use rimuhosting with no issues, but have thought about trying slicehost because they're a bit cheaper...

Yeah, cniweb is on the opposite side of the continent from me, but

they are only a phone call or an email away.

they are not cheap. hostmonster is cheap, however,

my monthly charge is still but a fraction of what I make in an

hour and it is really worth it, and there are no hidden charges.

Hostmonster has hidden costs aplenty - I.E. there is a fee

for every email address for which you might want spam

protection. Corey (cniweb owner) developed his own - called portcullis,, if

memory serves me and it works quite well.

P.S. Corey Says

I can also configure customized virtual servers at a very reasonable

price.  Which gives you a dedicated server without having to buy or rent

your own hardware.



I have been virtualizing a lot.  using 4 x 4 Opteron servers running

VMware on SUSE.

Thanks, tom!!  I'll check it out.

ok, slicehost is not cheaper, but they provide more ram and drive space than rimuhosting.  They also offer archlinux, which is my distro of choice.  Right now my vps at rimu is running debian.

Notwithstanding my preferences, I kind of like hostmonster. Their tech

support is good. They are _cheap_ $144 for two years and once you

have a domain hosted, you can host any number other domains as

virtual domain "underneath" it. They provide secure shell access and

according to tech support, one could install any binary in a non-public

folder (say /home/mydomain/bin). Also, one could compile newlisp with

INIT_FILE (in newlisp.c) edited to a local file. - At least I think you should

be able to.



I set my daughters domain there and parked two of my domains as

"virtual domains" there....



:-) And with spamassassin you could your own spam filtering.

Dreamhost's web hosting service declined badly since my posts above. We are now hosted on Webfaction. They've been doing a great job at a good price.

Since it has been several years since I last posted regarding Hostmonster, I want to say that I have

moved all of my domains to hostmonster and I haven't been able to think of anything bad about them at all. Their tech support is spot on and they have turned out to be very reliable.
