Actually, it looks like I might have been wrong on this: 
they run 'virtual dedicated servers', which runs under a product called
'virtuozzo'. So they don't run under M$, which is a relief :)

I run a couple of off shore web servers and rent space at AU$100 per
year.  I run these at very low loading with 300GB spare disk space
and 2TB / month spare transfer.

Well, that's one way to guarantee poor uptime on your Linux boxes.

Jobst,
I would suggest you to look at  and 
also  for a range of discussions 
and web hosters with an Australian focus.  Of course, there is nothing 
stopping you getting hosting from a US supplier and then the choice 
somewhat explodes...

PS I am with AussieHosts.  See  for 
further details.  Been with them for 2yrs and have had no problems.  
Support is good as well, plus they have been around for a few years so 
they are no fly by nighter either.

Web Central are pretty big. That has all the usual pros and cons. I've
heard good things about them from people who have needed windows
hosting.

I work for a company called Anchor Systems (http://www.anchor.com.au).
We're a Linux shop and the dudes who manage the servers (not I, I'm a
lowly programmer there) are ninjas. They also do colo, so you could put
your own box in if you like, but check these boxes out:

http://anchor.com.au/dedicated-server-1.py
http://anchor.com.au/dedicated-server-3.py

I don't know what your objections with your current provider are, so I
can't address them directly (nor can I point you at someone who excels
in those areas). Is there a specific problem you're looking to solve?

Ultimately I suppose you just need to shop around. It's a saturated
market so I suppose you'd do well to find someone doing something to
differentiate themselves from the pack.

I have heard that the guys over at Bullet Proof do good things as well,
but I've not used them before.

HTH and sorry if this comes across as a shameless plug. :)

James.

I've found nettro.com.au to be reasonably priced, reliable, responsive and
provide linux / windows servers as required.  you can either sign up as a
reseller or host single / multiple domains.

Re: [SLUG] Looking for a hosting service provider

[Campbell McLeay]

All of webcentral's servers run windows - they are one of microsoft's
premier partners in aust. This may or may not be of concern.

They are ok from what I have heard, but they are expensive. Did
I mention that they only run windows? :)

I gather stability is paramount?

[SLUG] Looking for a hosting service provider

[Jobst Schmalenbach]

All,

does anybody of you have any pointers to website(s) where I can
read about hosting companies (ie companies hosting your
webserver on a shared server or your own/leased equipment or ...).

I want to find a new hosting company, my current one is no good
(and *NO* currently i dont want to say who and why it is).


I know about whirlpool but the data/discussions/faqs are mostly
about ADSL/braodband connections (my internet connection is **VERY**
stable so I dont need that, *NO* outage since Feb 2003 and
that was my fault then).


I heard about a company called "Web Central", are they any good?


Do any of you have any other names?



Thanks
jobst
