progJmac.org web & email has gotta move again, and soon. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daerr has been my latest kind host, but his machine is falling apart and he's planning on bailing soon. I figure that, after more than eight years of hoboing this domain around, it's finally time to move it off of FriendlyNet and into the realm of paid-for hosting.
Any recommendations for hosting solutions? I am assuming that, since I want me own MySQL tables and Mason-based websites, I am too much of a control freak for Dreamhost, but feel free to tell me otherwise. (I don't need mod_perl, so long as Mason works.)
I am leaning towards getting a virtual user-mode Linux thing somewhere. They're more expensive, but you can go crazy on them. OTOH you have to do your own sysadminning, and enh.
I politely decline in advance offers to host on your own server or your friend's server or whatnot, thank you anyway. (Unless your friend runs a legit hosting business.) This will support, among other things, my professional identity. I need to be able to yell at someone when it falls over, without feeling like I'm stretching a personal favor thin.

Date: 2007-05-16 06:16 pm (UTC)I use Tera-Byte for my business hosting:

Their 4U shared account is your basic Linux shared hosting thingy with all the usual stuff, although IIRC you have to ask 'em nicely to turn on MySQL. Cost is 99 USD per year.
I've been with them one way or another for four years, and had about one hour unscheduled downtime, a few hours of scheduled downtime, no other major issues, and very good responsiveness from their tech support.
