[QCLUG] Switching hosting service

[agamotto]

Ok, here are the final two candidates:

Brinkster Webhosting.... good prices, but they do not support mailing
lists, so they are out..phpbbbhht

IX Webhosting

Linux-based (Red Hat) in Ohio
Virtual servers, so no Root access for server admin

The Unlimited Pro plan seems to offer everything that we need @ $7.95/mo.
There is another plan that is cheaper, but it does not support mail lists.

Unlimited domains
Unlimited storage
3 Free domains
15 IP addresses
Unlimited transfer
Unlimited sub-domains
DB support (not sure what this means)
Access to site/s w/o www.

Demos of the site-builder and control panel.  I played around with both,
and I didn't get lost, so things should be fairly simple to administer.

24/7 support through live chat, phone, email ticket.  The live chat feature
is how I found out about the Unlimited Pro plan supporting mailing lists,
so I can vouch that it works!
Site/s backups

2500 email accounts
Catch-all email addresses
POP3 and IMAP access, with Webmail
Unlimited MySQL DBs
Unlimited PostgreSQL DBs
10Gb storage quota on all DBs

If you can name it, they seem to support it.  I will give a partial list:

Webstats
Ruby on Rails
PHP v5
Perl
CGI & CGI-BIN
Flash & Shockwave
MIDI
Streaming a/v, including REAL a/v
FTP & anon FTP
Web-based file manager
Publishing program
Password protection
Online page/email editor
Custom MIME types and CRONs
Throttle policy for abuse prevention
