[Lancaster] geek web hosting

[KEN HOUGH]

Hi Andy!

I use 1 and 1 Internet Ltd. They're reported to be one of the biggest Internet Hosting companies in the world.

They offer a lot of services and types of account, including the choice of running on Linux  
or Windows servers.

Regards

Ken Hough

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good geek friendly web hosting company? I'm thinking of moving from dayanahost.com who I've been using for some time. The things that have prompted me to want to move are:

- The python support from dayanahost isn't that good (old python version, plus no mod_python or mod_wsgi).
- I am thinking of setting up a service on my home server (running over our home broadband), which needs SRV DNS records and also dynamic DNS updating (no static IP). At the moment I'm using dyndns.org for my home server's ADSL IP address, but I would rather have it set up on a subdomain of my main domain. Dayana's DNS can do subdomains but not dynamic updates or SRV records. Dyndns can do SRV records but only if I pay for a separate domain, which I don't really want to do.

I'd also be looking for things like:

- recent versions of php, perl and python
- ssh/sftp access.
- good tech support.
- able to start with a small cheap package, then upgrade according to the resources I use.

Any suggestions?

andy
