I use MaiHost, which is pretty good. Not enough space for me but if you want the other features, its pretty nice.

Posted By Paddy on 19th Feb 08 at 6:40pm Perhaps I misunderstood the invoice then. shrug They don't really support changing the base webroot folder though, do they? ~Artemis After one year, normal prices resume. You mean say, /home/user/ Stuff in that folder? Yes, they do. Not the /home/ folder tho.

You could just ask the host to do It I know if one of my clients asked me to change there web root for a specific domain I could do it.

I find their support system to be very quick and helpful. (They open ports for me in the firewall very often, which is nice of them )

I don't see how, unless you found some way using some obscure Apache settings (Maybe .htaccess...?) googles

... Nonetheless, it's not readily available- takes a special request. It's handy, by the way, for having more than one domain per user account, and if you use a development framework like Cake, which needs your webroot to be $CAKE_INSTALL_DIR/app/webroot (it isn't majorly an issue if $CAKE_INSTALL_DIR actually ends up being the webroot, but I've always considered that sloppy.) ~Artemis

I'm pretty sure that no host will let you do that on your own, as Apache is not configured for it. I doubt that any host just happens to have it setup so that any user can edit webroot settings; as that's insecure.

... Dreamhost lets me do it. ^_^ I enter the (sub)domain I want, the user account I want it to be hosted under, and the folder I would like to have available from the root path, and it sets it up that way for me. ~Artemis

Nope. This is the lowest, cheapest available shared hosting package. ~Artemis
