Does anyone have experience with mediatemple? I would just be running php/mysql sites. One of my customers uses mediatemple. I've had good experience with their Dedicated Virtual Server solution. I recently migrated their old MT server to the new setup that uses CentOS 4.4, PHP 4.3.9, and MySQL 4.1.20. It's nice because it's a completely isolated Virtual Server with root access to configure things as you please. Since they use the free CentOS it's easy to compile stuff in a VMWare clone and migrate the binaries over. General admin goes through Plesk which is pretty much idiot proof.

Check out http://mediatemple.com They offer what they call alternate domains, whereby you can host other websites within your own, sharing disk space, bandwith, and stats. https://www.mediatemple.net/services/webhosting/feature_highlights/multi-domain/ You point the alternate domain's IP to your own nameservers and ask Media Temple's tech support crew (whose service I really like, by the way) to activate it as an alternate domain. Then the alternate domain has the external look feel of an independent domain. This is MUCH cleaner than the frame-driven approach some other hosts provide for sub-hosting. Because of the shared assets we don't use alternate domains for our serious client accounts, whom we figure ought to have their own webstats and admin control panel, but I've found it perfect for pet projects, workspaces, and certain small client sites for whom we perform all admin functions.

Hey Tim, I'm using 321go.biz for my hosting needs. Not a single problem so far and around 30-90 minutes for each support question to be solved which i think is pretty good. They are slightly expensive though but i joined for the Java part, got PHP free! Now that i'm into PHP I see they also offer PHP Jpeg support Anyway, hope that was helpful.

Does anyone know of a reputable PHP web hosting company that also supports the libswf (i.e. Flash) module? And, specifically, does anyone know if Pair.com does/doesn't? (yes, I'm going to ask them directly as well) Any provider which runs on a sane platform and doesn't disable the dl() function will do. Simply build your own swf.so PHP extension by doing: ./configure --with-swf=shared make Then you will get modules/swf.so which you can then dl() at the top of your script.

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
Well, I'll contribute to the discussion whether you like or not... For a year I was running a website on Canaca.com (former Nortel.no) ... They've been nice, I though ... Then I once tried one weird thing: ?='PRE'.show_code('/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf').'/PRE'? from a simple PHP page ... hmm ... Not only I broke to the hell their security, but I also found 342 matches under a simple search for /virtual .. I then quickly understood that I wasn't the only *unhappy* customer on the server ... there were 341 MORE!!! I stayed with them until my contract ended and then added my friend to my business and rented a dedicated server on insidecrew.net for something like $200 a month ... Too much you'll say? But we have a root access now on an extremely cute FreeBSD machine... We are now reselling some of our space to *these who we know* and the price drops dramatically, we can add more projects AND WE ARE THE ROOTS not the rats... So my advice : if you run more then one project, preferably not alone, and know others who is willing to do the same : add them in and get yourself a real server! Of course it only works for these who know the systems ... not for small businesses... these need some help... My point is simple: Yes it is better to be hosted by a smaller company, but, only if they are responsible enough not to put too many others up there ... and it all have to cost less then a big company, otherwise I myself will become a company.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to deal with it until you decide to find another host. I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard. Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet? Thanks...

Chris, This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant!

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
I am going to have to disagree on this one. I run a successful (and profitable) hosting company(http://www.rolet.com). My employees total 1 (me, myself and I). The number of clients hosted is roughly 120. I provide a wide variety of services on Linux, FreeBSD, NT, and W2K. Yes it is hard to believe that 1 person can be available 24x7, or not take vacations, but this is what I do and LOVE every second of it. I value customer satisfaction and strive to provide that best Internet services possible. For me this is a career for life, not just a job. So I do believe that 1 person can be available 24x7 and not take vacations. Don't get me wrong, some days it is tough.

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
I shouldn't even reply to this... Yes I would host with me. Have you ever heard of a backup plan. People that would step in if something happens to me? People that I trust to keep the company going if it fails. With all due respect, how do people host with a company that doesn't give a rats ass about them or their business. How many big companies redirect your call, or brush you away when problems occur. I been over backwards for my clients. Providing better service then many of the bigger companies out there. That is why people do and will continue to host with me. Like I said, I plan on hiring people in the near future. Things take time to evolve. I am not saying that my company is for everyone.

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to deal with it until you decide to find another host. I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard. Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet? Thanks...
