Shout Out to the Host with the Most
My friend Greg asked me who hosts tomaw.com and if i would recommend them. Below I share my answer.
www.phpwebhosting.com
I only had one problem. A couple weeks ago, my server (including mail) went down for a night. They are not verbose so I do not know it was expected or if I lost and email. They do not have much customer service. You can send them mail, and they usually respond but I do not think they had 24-hour staff. Having said that, I do not think you can find better service for $9.95/mo. It is quietly billed to my credit card each month and I have email. They give you something like 100 MB or maybe 500 MB I do not know, but they say that you can have more you just have to ask. They ask that you do not put anything high traffic up. It is almost more like a co-op than a service. I do not bather them, they do not bother me. They have perl installed for each server instance. Moreover, due to the name, PHP is there, but I have never used it. The one thing I would like, and would make me change in an instant if I could find it is a service with J2EE. When I was looking a couple of years ago, everyone said it was a security risk. Which made me say what security risk? I do not know of any problems having a Java Container running on a server. The only think I can think of is that it might be hard to set up the servers to be restarted individually because they all reside on the same machine.
