Linux Hosting Required

Dibs · 9th April 2006

Having searched for hours, wading thru the "unlimited" everything type hosting outfits, I found this website, so here goes - I'm after a Linux hosting account, shared will do - but it must be UK based and should have most if not all of the following,

- No setup cost.
- 350MB (min) disk
- 10GB/Month (min) transfer
- unlimited email accounts - POP3/IMAP (can live without IMAP though). Must allow attachments upto 5MB.
- SMTP (auth)
- Webmail
- Must allow multi domain, addons (and parked), subdomains, etc. - preferably unlimited.
- usual PHP, CGI, Perl, MySQL (with phpMyAdmin & preferably unlimited databases) etc.
- control panel.
- FTP accounts (preferably more than 1)
- webstats\raw logs, etc.
- reliabilty is a must.
- private name\mail servers would be nice, but I suspect those will only be with reseller packages.
- the provider must cater for growth, so if in a year's time, I needed to increase the space\bandwidth, it isn't the only package going, etc.

Optional - I'd be curious to know what the cost\availibility of an IP address would be (for dedicated SSL), and whether there would be support for cURL.

Also, what the costs are for exceeding bandwidth\space? Don't expect to - but would be good to know.

I've quoted (min) figures for space\bandwidth to allow for the differences in packages offered by hosts.

If a reseller package fits - thats cool.

There is other stuff, which I missed out (Zend), but it shouldn't be anything other than "run of the mill" on a Linux package.

My domains are already registered and there is no intention to transfer the registration.

No resellers please - must have own hardware.

As I said earlier - I've spent hours searching and getting deluged with stuff that has to to be too good to be true. So would appreciate getting something sorted relatively quickly - my existing hosting runs out in about a week.

It's gone 4 in the morning - so if there is anything nonsensical in the requirements list above, you know why.

Many thanks

Dibs

Hi Dibs,

http://real-hosts.co.uk/index.php?virtual
I think our virtual hosting packages will suit you fine with ample room for growth

We operate our own hardware (and routing on a fully qualified BGP4 network) in Redbus Interhouse London II (Meridian Gate) in the London Docklands. Our IP addresses are our own allocation from RIPE and we hold our own AS.

cURL is installed and avaliable.
There are additional £2 ex.VAT /GB charges for exceeding bandwidth. And we have our own C class networks from RIPE, we do not charge for IP addresses, and they are avaliable on reasonable request. Zend is also installed.

If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to email me at joel @ real-hosts.co.uk

Thank You.

Hi,

Whilst we don't do unlimited features for anything on our accounts, we rarely find people exceeding the including limits on mailboxes etc. - Unlimited anything, is asking for trouble IMHO if you want a stable platform.

It sounds like our SH-3 package could be just what you're looking for, providing:

600MB Space
15GB Monthly Transfer
600 Mailboxes, forwarders and auto-responders, access via POP3, IMAP and Webmail
PHP5 with cURL and other extensions
mySQL with PostgreSQL as an option
Raw logs available on a daily basis
Up to 40 FTP Accounts
Up to 20 domain aliases, 4 hosted domains, 40 sub-domains
Proper shared SSL support - non of this somedomain.com/~username/ malarky
Site hosted on up to 7 separate servers (Control Panel, Web, Database, Mail, Mail Backup, Primary and Secondary DNS)

Price is £14.95 + VAT per month, or £149.50 + VAT per year. Extra data transfer is £2/GB, extra space is £0.05p per MB (Discounts for bulk).

Growth isn't a problem, we've had customers running e-commerce stores turning over mid-5 figures per month on our virtual hosting without issues before now.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask, and good luck with your search.

We operate our own Tyan servers with RAID10 fault-tolerant diskspace, dual CPU's and 2-8GB RAM. Due to the nature of our advanced platform we can migrate customers between physical servers with zero-downtime to perform hardware maintenance. IP addresses are an additional $1/month (US) or £1/month (UK). Curl can be made available by opening a support ticket with our technical team. Additional $2/GB (US) or £2/GB (UK) if you exceed your data transfer allowance, and our systems will warn you at 80% and 100% usage to give you opportunity to upgrade to a package with a higher allowance or to reduce your usage. Additional diskspace available by upgrading to higher packages.

To ensure maximum availability our services are currently undergoing an 8-phase migration to a distributed platform which is currently in progress and is taking place over the next 7 months. DNS (geographically redundant), control panels and technical support requests are currently separated from customer servers. Mail, backup mail, MySQL, PostgreSQL coming soon.

Our services are scalable through shared hosting, reseller hosting, vps hosting, simple dedicated and advanced dedicated hosting solutions. We can fully manage the scaling for you if it involves moving to vps or dedicated servers.

I mentioned our US services even though you specifically requested UK-based. If this is for SEO, you may like to know our US servers are allocated UK-registered IP's for listing in Google UK (check transnexis.com as an example).

We've been operating for five years with the Plesk platform exclusively using SWsoft hosting technologies. Our technical support team is available 24/7 and regularly contributes to the ongoing development process of SWsoft hosting software, which results in us knowing the platform significantly better than the majority of providers out there.

Let us know if I missed anything, you have any questions or would like a demonstration via sales[at]transnexis.com and we'll endeavour to help.
