Does anyone know of a Virtual webhost that offers custom plans or would fit what I have listed? What I need in a webserver is obviously very uncommon because all of the plans I can find have too much of one thing and not enough of something else, don't seem reliable, or are just too expensive. I'm looking to pay $15/month or less since I don't need much.

Basically I need:
My own domain, not a redirect
<5 email accounts(real mailboxes, I don't need any forwarders or autoresponders)
<50MB space
<1GB transfer/month
PHP4 & mySQL(one Database will suffice, but would prefer multiple) *Most important
CGI
Domain Pointers are a big plus, but not required
Subdomains are a plus, but not required

And that is all. Most places offer either lots more space and transfer, but no mySQL, or they don't offer email, or they cost over $20/month for 20MB of space. I am with Liquidweb right now, but their email is very slow, and the webserver goes down a lot. I have been looking for a new server for a while, but can't find one that fits my needs or seems like it would be reliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a lot of "host-finding" sites around:
http://hostsearch.com/
http://www.tophosts.com/
http://www.comparehost.com/
http://www.hostindex.com/

Two weeks ago we moved from www.addr.com to www.hostrocket.com because we were soon exceeding the bandwith limit. Addr.com provides only with the Gold plan 5 real POP3 boxes for $15. Here from my home-account (in Austria) it seems like addr.com is a bit faster than Hostrocket.

Hostrocket provides the best Control Panel I've ever seen. Except domain name parking I think everything is changeable there. (Including Subdomains, mySQL-databeses/user, mailboxes, forwarding, cron, ...)

The first week I noticed some downtimes, so I analyzed the log-files and found 1,7% down-time instead of 99,5% uptime what was guaranteed. But it could be caused by bandwidth upgrades, they did. I cannot provide you with the current down-times, because the log-file was reset. I'll look again in a week or so.

Take a look at phpwebhosting.com, especially if you are using the PHP version of W3T.

- $9.95 per month
- 125 Mb Storage
- Un-metered traffic (there are limitations, take a look at their FAQs)
- 125 user per machine limit (many providers set 200 users per machine as a minimum and usually exceed that)
- Highly recommended by many developers.
- 30 day money-back guarantee

i am currently on csoft.net go to there web page and they have great plans for you to pick from. if you pick the higher up ones you can have "unlimited" domains.... and you get a control panel type thingy so you can do it all yoruself.
