Well....(?)

Ok I'm looking for a new web host. I currently have http://www.valvenetwork.com as my web host. They used to be awesome, now they're support is lacking. I need a new host, I thought about http://www.canhost.com but they only have 10gb for the Unlimited Package (which is what I had before I switched to Valvenetwork). I'm debating about going back to them, but I don't remember if they had Telnet acess (which is what I really could use...that and phpMyAdmin)...I hear VenturesOnline is pretty good, but do they allow Telnet access? What about phpMyAdmin OR someway that I can create my own MySQL databases? I don't know how much space is good, I have "unlimited" however that's not true, from what I hear anyway, although I've never had any problems with space thus far.

What do YOU guys recommend? I dont' know what a good space limit is (but I like big numbers ) and I dont' know what a good monthly transfer is (but I like big numbers ) Suggestions please...Thanks!

VenturesOnline are quite good and they have both SSH (=secure telnet) and phpMyAdmin.
And you are right, unlimited is not good for you nor the host.

I see....but is 20GB/month any good at all? I mean, what's the average transfer rate per month for a normal board? And for VenturesOnline, I'm looking at the "V500" plan....What does "MySQL connections=45" mean?

That means that at any instant, you can only have 45 open mysql connections.

keep in mind that almost all scripts will close a connection once it is no longer needed for the page that is being asked for....

And how many does your service offer? Open MySQL connections that is...?

45

Every host has to limit the SQL connections - remember, you are not the only one on the shared server
