I NEED A HOST! :D:D

Of course, I'm searching like crazy, but there are tooooooo many out there. If anyone is with one that has the following... ?


A phone number. I need to be able to call and say "WTF?!" when it goes down.
Excellent reliability. I'm tired of %%% so I'll say, 364+ days per year of uptime.
Excellent speed in both the site to public and the ftp when I'm uploading a 100+ MB site.
1000+ MB of space.
50+ GB of bandwidth per month.
cPanel w/Blue Lagoon available.
WHM. I need to be able to host unlimited domains, easily, on my...
Static IP, because I refuse to make the mistake of turning over my DNS ever again. It stays at DomainMonger from now on, I'll point it to my IP.
Unlimited MySQL databases, phpmyadmin access.


Of course, I'm looking for the usual unlimited pop3, ftp, etc... but that's all secondary. Anyone got/with a good one that can provide all these?

Looks like your looking for a reseller account.

A reseller account is what you might look for, for your needs. Dedicated is a big jump, unless you really need it due to resource use, or configuration needs. I host a couple vB forums, with a modified my.cnf, things are smooth.

ReveX, just as note, your order form is not working.

As for a host, you are not going to find one that will truly offer 100% uptime. In the hosting industry, you will find two types of hosts, one that offers an uptime percentage, the other than offers nothing and tells you to live with it (better to be with the one that offers).

The rest of your requests sound reasonable and I wish you luck with finding a new host and hope that you will not have to make another move. I have dealt with many websites before becoming a host and I know what it is like to move websites and how much of a pain it is.

Once again, good luck!!

Try this place:

Web Hosting - Advanced Search For Plans Web Hosting Services Providers (http://www.findmyhosting.com/AdvancedSearch.asp)

It is a search engine site that allows you to input just about any criteria you desire and it will return the hosts that meets the criteria you asked it for along with customer testimonials and the interviews of the hosts and much other information that may or may not be useful in your search. I too am still searching and have found this search engine site helpful as it is packed with all sorts of info/data on the subject of hosts and hosting.

I have found this site to be very useful so far in my search even though I'm still looking for one myself. This is a new experience for me so I'm trying to be as thorough as I know how to be. Any useful tips or suggestions would be welcome.

Woah, that site rocks! Thanx. :D

I think I just might have found something that works. I've got quite a bit more than a forum to get back up (including my business site :mad: ), so I do need a lot of space/bandwidth. We had planed to have (combined) 9 gb w/105gb of bandwidth, but the deal fell through and my sites have been down since. :o
