I have just purchased Photo Post PHP GMS for the purpose of streamlining my gallery. I have literally over a thousand images to galleryize (new word) and it take way too much time. It grows yearly. I just switched web hosts to get a little more advanced features and found out it is in too much of a box. No Telnet / SSH Access is the main glich. I need to have Imagemagick on the server and without Telnet / SSH access or a willing web host, this wont happen. Here are my needs as best as I can figure. I am no expert, just try to make people think I am.

What I would like to find is;

up to $20 per month

350 to 750 MB storage
Unix / Linux server
Telnet / SSH access
MySQL database
SSL included
PHP Safe mode OFF
Perl
SSI
Private CGI-BIN
a dozen email addresses
a reasonable amount of bandwidth, say 5 or 10 gig.

I don't think I forgot anything.
Does this sound like an unreasonable request?

Any other features anyone can suggest would be appreciated. I plan to run vBulletin and PhotoPost GMS and maybe Pro in the future. I think Telnet access is a must for backing up data on vBulletin. I also run a shopping cart, but I think I can create that myself with the right tools. Just need the SSL.

Thanks for the help. Maybe Puder can help. I just don't want him typing anything for me.

mine is hosted at www.godaddy.com

Whatever happened to ol NickSlick? I think he had a neat web hosting system.

Godaddy.com only offers 50mb of storage. I am using almost 3 times that right now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

What DID happen to Nickslick?

Check out JNJHost. The owner is an OSO brother and he's done a great job as the host for my website. You can e-mail him at [email protected]

Let me know if you find all that and 750MB for $20. Your best bet may be your own server.

I use verio.com, great service but no where near that storage space for the dollars.

JNJ comes pretty close, but at $25 they don't offer SSL.

D_Casten, I have 750MB now for $9.95 per month. I add $5 for MySQL database access and another $5 for SSL. so a total of $19.95. The only thing they don't have that I need is Telnet / SSH.

I did find one that looks interesting. DreamHost.com offers everything I need except only 450MB of storage. I think I can live with that. It is $19.95 per month and $24.95 with SSL. They have everything else I need and more. Unless something else pops up today, I am going with these guys.

Thanks

Thx Jim will check them out.

I can do it! The only thing is the SSL is not in yourname.com. Call me at 949-833-5727 or email me at [email protected].

The prices on my site are the everyday visitor. I will customize the account for you!

Lot's of references, RiverRacerX.com, Rivertoys.com, SCOPEinfo.com, and more if you need 'em.

Thanks Chris,
Just to let everyone else know, Chris beat everyone elses deals. I have been looking for a while. I am sure I will be pleased with his service. I would highly recommend JNJ Host.com to anyone.

Thanks again Chris.
