[TriLUG] I'm looking for a good shared hosting web host

[John Vaughters via TriLUG]

I use linode, which got bought by Akamai a little while ago. Right now I run an ubuntu server for $5/month, I am a light user. I don't know the data rates, but I never come close to them. Since you own the server, you can do whatever you like. Maybe check out the virtual host idea instead of classic web hosting.

Hi all,

For many years Troubleshooters.Com has been hosted by the spectacular
Futurequest in Orlando Florida. Sadly, because of hurricanes, the
pandemic, inflation, and insanely skyrocketing rents in Orlando,
they're going out of business within a few days, so I need a new web
host.

What I absolutely need:

* Reliability
* ssh access
* At least 500 MB of space
* Somewhere around 5 GB transfer per month
* A reasonably effective way to get tech support
* Ability to have Javascript in my web pages
* A way to quickly redirect my whole site, such as .htaccess.
    I need this ability because I need to shut down before every
    hurricane. To see an example of what I'd redirect to, see
    http://troubleshooters.com/troubleshooters_during_ian.htm

What I'd also really like:

* A non-distopian Terms of Service
* Ability to run server side scripts (Perl etc)
* Ability to serve https
* Ability to serve multiple domain names with one contract
* Good mailing list software that doesn't throttle too much

I prioritize the preceding over price. Price is a secondary concern.

I used Bluehost in the past, but found them not good enough, so I'm
hoping for somebody better than Bluehost.

If anyone knows of any good web hosts, please let me know.
