I'm looking for a website hosting company to keep a company's website on.

so it would need:

- ~500-1000 MB storage
- >6GB transfer
- PHP4 support
- Cold Fusion Support
- Databases (Access/ SQL Server etc)
- unlimited email accounts, pop access/forwarding, FTP accounts.
- cheap?

All-knowing Rossman, maybe you could help with this

Sorry I'm a complete n00b when it comes to anything PHP/MySQL/HTML related :(

I would suggest re-posting your question here, HTTPme.COM has an awesome lively and helpful community.

I am learning that webhost's quality are not really a function of their price but rather their level of service. My first webhost kicked massive butt until they sold themselves to another hosting service... everything went to hell after that.

I got another fairly decent webhost and they seemed to be great for 4 or 5 months but now that traffic is building the service is really spotty.

I am thinking that a dedicated server is my only option especially considering I am about to install a full retail store on one of my domains. I can't wait until the day I can afford a T1 line and host all my websites on a trustworthy connect. :p

I would suggest reading this thread which has a lot of info.

Hundreds of AT'ers already have a free 1and1.com web hosting account (500MB/5GB) except for me.

I won't do it either. Something just seems suspicious to me.
