[olug] Suggestions for web/e-mail/shell access hosting...

[Pete Trerice]

I recently took on a 1and1 account because customer of ours (they were using
1and1s Sharepoint Services).  I have not had a very good experience with
1and1. After about 10 (I have the proof) emails back and forth I had to get
a second subscription to get custom DNS.

I have used Dreamhost (I know there a few OLUGers out there that do it to)
for almost three years now.  They use Plesk installs, custom DNS, and CHEAP
PRICES with tons of storage and bandwith.

My current location for my Linder.org server is going away.  I'm thinking
about switching to a hosting provider that I can park the domain name at
and host some web pages (family stuff).  I'd really like a small hosted
server that I could get shell access to via ssh, and I could keep up the
web and e-mail stuff myself.

I've checked into "1and1.com", a friend said that "Jelecos.com" was good
to his customers, and a family member recommended "ipowerweb.com".  1and1
is nice because it has a $10/month solution with e-mail, ssh, and web
hosting.

I had thought of moving it back to my house and upgrade my Cox cable modem
service to the "business" class, but the cost is rather prohibitive when
all I need is a static IP address and in-bound e-mail connections.

Any other suggestions?

Dan
