I put up our website way back in 1998. From that day to
this it has been hosted by Verio. Service has been OK.

But lately there is evidence I am not getting all my
emails. We get most. But from time to time I hear from
someone who has sent me an email and it has never gotten
to me. I have lost some business and some personal emails
that I wanted to see.

The Verio support staff have been giving me runarounds
and false promises and lies. I've had enough.

So I need to find a new web hosting company, and I'm
looking from recommendations from the list, especially
from those of you who run small businesses, for good
web hosting companies.

Requirements include:

* Support staff in the U.S.; I am tired of not being
  able to understand the support people; and I want
  to encourage companies that hire Americans

* Host on UNIX or Linux (actually, host on z/OS or
  Linux on z would be cool, but I don't think I'm
  going to find that); not Windows

* Ability to run CGIs; support of some common web
  languages (php, perl, etc.)

* Support for some relational data base

* Affordable; NOTICE: I did _not_ say cheap. I think
  we must all start to change the mentality that price
  is the only criteria. To get value you must pay a
  fair price.

  (Actually, if corporations would start to act
   like they understand this, we would see some
   improvement in the economy quickly, I believe)

* Like to have unique IP address that could host
  multiple domains.

I'm off to run some errands, but if anyone has some
recommendations, please send, em to me. You can reply on
list or off list. Hope I get your email.
