Just wondering if anybody has experience with LinuxWebhost.com (www.linuxwebhost.com)? They seem to offer a great top package (although slightly limited bandwidth at 10Gb) for only $25 a month.

If anybody could share an opinion, especially if they have run vB on it, that would be awesome.

Thanks :)

In case anybody is interested, I signed up with these guys. For only $25 a month you do get a great package with the following:

-300Mb space
-10Gb bandwidth
-mySQL
-PHP
-IP address
-PGP mail
-CGI-bin

plus all the extras you get with a virtual server. If you want check out their host plans here (www.linuxwebhost.com/hostplans.htm).

I have heard their technical support can be a bit dodgy and the only way to contact them is via a web form. However, I tried it out and had a response within an hour. For people who know where they are with hosting and wouldn't need much tech support then this probably wouldn't worry you too much. I don't think I would recommend it to newbies though, who would be better off with a host that offers decent phone and email support.

I have got my vB up and running perfectly on their servers, although I did have to change the .htaccess file so that .php was parsed as .php3 :)

LOL just sifting around looking for old posts and saw this one. I run the sites with Morgo and a word of warning, they stiffed us! They promissed unlimited bandwidth (I still have the agreement) and guess what.
They shut our sites down because we were too busy :)

We have our own server now.
