Web Host Wanted
Jumpdomain, who hosts my personal domain, finally struck out. I’m not picky, but if I do have a problem, I like to have it acknowledged and fixed, either in a timely manner or at all. Unfortunately, there's not another hosting company at-bat, so I'm scouting for a big stick to add to the roster.
- Requirements aren't much:
- *nix-based
- shell/ftp accounts
- web-based control panel for everything possible
- nice OSS things pre-installed (eg wordpress and phpnuke)
- blog-enabled
- unimpeachable uptime and support
- IMAP & POP mail w/ large numbers in front; mailing lists
- Bonuses for big disk and big bandwidth
- Whatever other crap they throw in for everybody else
If you want to share the name of a star in your stable, leave a comment below or fire me a pitch.
I have my eye on Dreamhost.

I have heard a ton of good things about dreamhosts (from a friend who has a reseller account with them). I've even thought about switching to them myself, but didn't... for some odd reason. I currently use lightningservers.net, and have had minimal problems with them, but they probably don't have everything you need. I also looked into hostgator.com, because they have great looking packages, but i was thwarted by their support forums. (i presume that satisfied customers are less likely to post tho...)

Thanks for the followup, kyle. I checked out your other names, but I'm still on dreamhosts tip, and will switch to them when I get a free moment. Maybe I'm just a sucker for sites that have nice, geeky, idiosyncratic narratives instead of marketoid-speak.
