Need reliable host with *nix, uncontrolled CGI, mySQL. SSH is a plus
| Posted by HawkBoy, 08-10-2006, 12:48 AM |
| Hi,
I want to start a site that uses C++ cgi scripts (don't worry, I've got that done already). I need my host to be reliable, use *nix, allow running of unapproved cgi (I'm not letting them see my source code) and hopefully SSH access (so I can tell why my scripts won't run).
I've looked around, but it's hard to find decent reviews. The most trusted one I found was from CNet and they recommended Aplus.net, but when I looked for other reviews (surprise, surprise), I found some *really* bad ones.
I'm obviously looking for something cheap (I should be able to get a reliable host like this for less than $15/month, right?), but that is not my highest priority.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

| What are your total bandwidth and space requirements?

| Bandwidth I'm really not sure (this will be my first professional site). It should be relatively low, my site won't be serving much media content.
Space, I think 100MB should be good enough. 1GB should keep me happy for a looooooong time.

| You should really look at some entry level VPS plans. FDC has some starting at $19 a month.

| To run a C++ script??? I don't think so, this guy is asking something that can perfectly fit on a shared account.

| I don't know of too many shared hosts that allow shell access, though.

| Yes, a lot does it . Maybe not all them publish it, but I know that many offer SSH upon request.

| I've looked around and I think hostingzoom should be ok for me.
Thought I'm not sure about the SSH access, the rest is fine.
I'm going to give them a shot.

| You may want to contact them.
As I said, not many host advertise SSH, but many does offer if you ask to their support/sales
