    Decent Linux / UNIX web host

    Ok I've just fallen out with my long term hosting provider because their system is f*cked today and I can't change any email configuration

    So - anyone know of a decent hosting provider that supports:

    - MySQL - preferably 4.1 +
    - PHP - preferably 4.4+
    - mod_rewrite
    - At least 5Gb/month transfer
    - ability to provide completely ISOLATED subdomains.
    - At least 250Mb of disk space
    - Actually have support open on a Sunday
    - Don't go down every 2 days.
    - Don't disappear off the internet with your cash.
    - Don't have cPanel as it's rubbish.
    - Don't have crappy domain reg requirements (I keep my doms at 123-reg!)

    So.... any takers?

        MyCo is with these guys - http://www.zenwebhosting.com/

        I have to say they are excellent, both in terms of uptime and support.

          Will they be on the end of the phone at 9am on a Sunday?

            Yep. See here - http://www.zensupport.co.uk/

            The other thing I find is that the person on the other end of the phone actually knows what they're talking about, which is unusual in my experience.

              Go American rather than UK

              Hi,

              I use PowWeb.com (American hosting seems to be cheaper than UK) - if you order 2 years hosting, you get another 6 months free. Works out VERY cheap,since it's only $7.77 a month anyway. Support is open 24*7, and I've not had many issues with them (main one was some time ago when there was a bug in part of their OS, which they fixed pretty quickly. I got an extra month free as compensation as well!).

              I have three sites with them, and have recommended them before.
