help me find a host provider
Posted by: salamandir : Category: Hosting
i am a disabled entrepreneur whose business includes providing web design, maintenance and hosting for a few businesses that have had trouble with hosting in other places. the main difficulty i have been having is finding an appropriate place for ebeneezer dot org, which has been the sticking point for several big name host providers like hostgator, EZPZ, and hostrocket. it's not a porno site, but it does contain "blasphemous" and "adult" oriented content.
i bought a month-to-month reseller account from someone i met on webhostingtalk dot com - michael spears from ismyreseller dot com - but in the past week his servers have been up and down intermittently, i still don't know how to log into my account, and i haven't heard anything from him despite emails, support tickets and live chat, so i figured i'd try again.
this is what i need:
no less than 4GB of space. i currently occupy a little less than 1GB, and i'm hoping to be able to expand.
the ability to have no less than 2 mySQL databases, one for an osCommerce site and one for a wordpress site. it would be nice if i had more, but that's what i need now.
the ability to run perl CGI scripts associated with the above web sites.
i prefer cPanel, but i'm not really that particular. one of the web sites - sedentarysousa dot com - needs a mailing list, which is already set up with "Mailman".
i need no fewer than 5 POP email accounts.
the ability to post "blasphemous" and "adult" oriented content (not illegal) without fear of censorship.
budget of around $100 a year. possiblity of going higher, but i'd like to keep it around that, if possible.
