pmwwwskypeaimgtalk | | Hosts (18th Feb 08 at 10:47pm UTC) | | I use DreamHost, but it's a really quite inflexible host when it comes to programming. I can use PHP5, but little PEAR or PECL support. I can use MySQL. I can do custom installations of PHP, to allow PEAR and PECL support, but it requires jumping through hoops. I can install Ruby on Rails, but it's *really* slow.
What do you guys use for hosting, and how good about programming are they?

I use Dreamhost too, and i do agree about the programming side of it, but it's good value and the support is pretty good too. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hosts (19th Feb 08 at 1:03am UTC) | | I use UnlimitedMB; they're a bit too strict though, thus deterring me from some big plans I had ideas for, so I do plan on switching hosts in the near future.
However, they do have some very good prices for their plans. | |

For example, they don't allow Cron jobs, no scripts that auto-update, until not too long ago they didn't allow htaccess, etc. | |

Well I only pay $32 a month for a really good deal, I got a discount and double disk, bandwith, and ram and the uptime has only improved since i've been there. They got a new firewall and some other things and it's less and less it happens. There a good company who just seems to have one person that is intent to bring them down. | |

They don't really support changing the base webroot folder though, do they?
