bloody databases

[Quiff Boy]

seems we had a few minutes of downtime there.

just "on hold" with the hosting company to try and work out what happened.

sorry about that

no worries Barry -as long as you're onto it.weird thing was i as trying to send a pm but kept getting "critical error"b ut when we were back it had sent the bloody pm every time.

so, lets just say i am looking for new hosting... i know this has come up before and a few people have mentioned various things to me, but lets just say that now i am really looking

these are the requirements i have:

NEEDS:
apache with php & mysql
2 or more mysql databases with no limits on db size
500 mb diskspace
10 gb per month bandwidth
the ability to schedule and run cron jobs (including scheduled jobs that run .sh files)
full access to the raw webserver logs
htaccess-based directory security
gd2
perl
unlimited domains & subdomains (if not unlimited then "a lot" will suffice)
unlimited pop3 mailboxes (if not unlimited then "a lot" will suffice)
unlimited mail forwarding (if not unlimited then "a lot" will suffice)
webmail & pop3 access to email

NICE TO HAVES:
apache mod-rewrite
mailing list (majordomo? mailman? something like that)
streaming media

at some point i'd transfer all my websites over there, along with the domain name hosting and forwards/redirects i have setup.

there's probably more if i were to sit down and think about it, but thats the crux of what i have now, and a couple of things i wish i had.

anyone point me in the direction of good hosting that can provide that for a decent price?

I'm sure that means something to Barry and Paul. But 'whoosh' straight over my glue-head.

As always to the geeks.

@ laz: do you get telnet or ssh access too?

[hallucienate]

We have a server from here but it's probably not what you're looking for as it's more hands on and far less user friendly. It really is all about command prompts.

nope
