Host hunting

2009 November 24

I had had all my websites —this one, and many other test ones, etc—, plus my self-managed DNS on Server Beach (now part of Peer1) for a very long time. They all reside on a dedicated server, which has, sadly, reached it’s end of life (EOL).

Although I can keep it as it is, doing so represents a liability problem, as I will be out of luck, should it decide to fail. The problem is, Server Beach isn’t offering anything right now a comparative server to the one I have, for the amount of money I pay. Hence the dilemma. I need to find a host. One that allows/has:

  • Multiple domains hosting
  • Multiple MySQL databases
  • Complete control of my own DNS
  • Ability to compile my own applications and run my own servers
  • Good uptime, enough bandwidth not to have to pay for extra
  • One that doesn’t oversells
  • Decently priced

Any recommendations, please?

    The account manager did not give me any other recommendation, other than there isn’t a server within the specifications/price of the current one available. You will think that after being a customer for such a long time, something could be worked out…

    I mean, I could just keep what we have. We never had a problem (hardware) with it before. But you know, like everything in life…
