web hosting Options

[synatribe]

okay so i have been looking for web hosting for the longest time. I tried the BBOR but the links are outdated and they dont supply what Im looking for and I posted on the suggestion thread for more hosting companies but no one replied or updated the list, so heres what Im looking for


2+ gigs of space
at least 50+ gigs of bandwidth
unlimited mysql
php compatible
unlimited add on domains
cpanel [fantastico prefered]
basically the basics

all this for under 10$ a month, but thats like strechting my budget
I can purchase domains serperately but if you can find one thats included in the plan then that would be awesome :]

"cheap" usually means just that--cheap. you're going to end up paying for quality, because that's how life is. you pay more for a high-end vehicle, you pay more for organic food...and you're gonna pay more for quality hosting.

have you given dreamhost a try? people complain about their control panel being difficult to use (i just find it annoyingly uncontrollable for the reason i was using it), but it's just a matter of reading. why do you need a control panel anyway? any software you can usually install yourself with an FTP program.

i'd say if you can't find a legitimate company in your price range, see if someone who's already hosted on one of those reputable companies will offer you hosting on their plan for a reduced rate.

heartquasm's on dreamhost and can offer you that control panel. i'm on mediatemple (finally!) and can give you all of the features i have with my account, except for a control panel since i can't give people access without assigning them technical, billing administrative status. in which case i'd only do if you wanted a job...ha.
