Does anybody have any recommendations for a cheap hosting company for this blog? I've used phpwebhosting for the last 2 years and been very happy with them until the last few weeks, where first I had my Berkeley DB get corrupted (which googling indicates is usually caused by a disk getting full), and now I am getting out of memory errors every other time I try to run mt.cgi.
I can understand that problems happen, and that for $10 a month people aren't going to stay up all night holding your hand if you run into any problems, but I have now filed 5 tech support requests in the last 7 days, and received one short response, to the effect that maybe the problem is because I have huge database. I have a tiny database. I have not had any other response. It isn't an acceptable level of service.
Maybe its time to move on, and to move my company Onscreen Systems' website too. Any recommendations? TIA.

I hope to have this weblog transitioned over to Wordpress in the near future, so that I can have commenting up and working again. Until then, please feel free to send me your comments via my email contact form.. Please ignore everything below this comment.

Been great to me, and many others. Exceptionally stable, and great customer service, too boot. Not sure about whether or not they support Berkeley, but Michal does offer mySQL for your MT site.

Posted by: Adam Rice on February 13, 2003 07:25 PMI have three of my four websites hosted at AffordableHOST. It's been around since 1997 and is capably owned and operated by Tina Peters, whom I met on the Usenet group alt.html.critique. Theer's been little if any down time, the Help Desk is very responsive (hours, usually), and they are really good about keeping you apprised of updated and upgrades so you know what's going on.
Posted by: Joni on February 16, 2003 06:45 PMThe guys at PCZero.Net have very good packages and are damn near always around on the net live somewhere. Check them out. They have about any services you need and the prices are very reasonable too.
I got the URL for PCZero.Net screwed up on the last post. My bad! Try this one.
Posted by: anon on June 16, 2003 01:03 PMWhen are you people who use mt.cgi going to stop blaming the webhosting company's with these out of memory errors when you should be going back and realizing the the code for mt.cgi isn't very well written for memory processes????? There are a LOT of you out there complaining on this and you should realize that the more blogs (archives) you have the more likely it's going to happen because it's the way the scripts handle the rebuild process.

Posted by: Ben on January 14, 2004 04:08 AMHello,
I can give you a website, with no limits of space, with 10 or more MySQL Databases, PHP, ASP, PHPNUKE, PHPBB, OScomerce, Mambo Open Source, No Advertising, no Bandwitdh limits.
I can host it for free, or with a really low monthly payment.
I am building a website right now, http://bilbaonline.us and http://bilbaonline.us/mambo/ or
http://bilbaonline.us/cell/
I am thinking about expanding more, with different domain names.
I can really help you, just give me an email, with your description, what you can give me for it, (no monetary value neccesary).
Think about it.
Hector
