Not being a server guru, has anyone got any tips on a good deal ATM?. It's time to move. We need about 250Meg account size, PHP, and a fair slab of band width.

in case it isn't obvious, it's for http://www.underwaredesign.com


Hmm, I wonder what's coming in 2011?

I've just started with this package.

Seems good value to me at the moment. A virtual private server.

General Oneill SGC:

I looked around your site (quickly) and doesn't seem the service you offer, would suit our needs.

i.e.

Quote: "
Space 100mb
Bandwidth 5gb
"

I have used Powweb for a year, and I have to say I was disappointed by their service. They also block all emails with certain attachments (e.g. exe's, etc.) just because they "could" be spam, and then they don't bounce a message back to the sender. There's no way to turn off the filter.

So I switched to Lunarpages--- they're awesome. It's about $7/month and they give you 1GB of space, 40GB/month bandwidth, 15 subdomains, MySQL, PHP, 999 emails (webmail, POP, and IMAP), FTP, etc. etc. etc. They're also offering ASP. Their tech support is great too.

Speaking of web hosts.... Anybody know a good profesional, while exciting color scheme for a website? I need a background, link, and text colors.
it has to look good, and cannot be silly, it has to look profesional, like a realy company's website.

And I don't want white as a background.

@General Oneill SGC
You should make the space 250mb and keep the bandwithd where it is(for the default free plan).
Didn't you say you had 50gb left?

UW - you'd be hard pressed to find uptime and a professional level service better than Pair Networks (www.pair.com). Have used them since 1996 and I'd never host a high-availability web site anywhere else. Which is why all the TGC sites are hosted there.

Cheers,
