Ok everyone, after a few weeks of talking to my host, and after being with them for a long time now I have arranged a special deal with them for IntegraMOD users.
After watching these forums and the posts dealing with strange hosting packages, problems with your host's, not enough memory etc, I decided to try and help you by getting you better hosting with the same people I use. Like you, I've had many problems with hosting providers, their constant problems, and the low quality of their service.. and most importantly their customer service.
How many of you have ever had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to even get a reply to your support questions, if you got one at all? That is just bad business and personally I think there should be a law against someone running a business that will not even help you because "it's not their problem". They lock in a contract and after they start getting their money, they just don't care anymore.
Trust me, I would like nothing more than to be able to have this one huge server and let anyone use it for free like I do my wireless connection to my neighbors, but unfortunately I'm not extremely rich and couldn't possibly afford it. The same goes for "perfect" hosting like everyone promises. Don't get me wrong I would gladly pay $30/month for hosting that I would have no problems with, for hosting I could talk to the same day about a problem, a host that would work with my hosting package and allow me to alter settings if I needed something to work... But in reality, it's simply not going to happen.
There are plenty of hosting providers out their who are a good business, and come really close to being perfect. Unfortunately the word spreads about them and they blow up, soon there are tons of people on one server and it becomes slow, then they have to try and help hundreds of people constantly... then you end up like most of us... out of luck.
So now that all of that is out of the way, on to the details of what I have found <img>
[hr]
The hosting is from InvisionTech
Normally the cheapest package is $19.95 a month but like I said, I've told him about what goes on a lot here and talked him into working out a special deal for me to offer to you. You have to be using IntegraMOD and you have to tell him that I showed you the deal or he will act like he's never heard of it.
You can view the packages here: [url=http]Hosting Packages[/url]
You can inspect and monitor his uptime and server here: [url=http]Uptime[/url]
The Hosting Special is - 1GB space + 15GB Bandwidth for only $6.95/month
An additional 1GB space and 15GB bandwidth is available for an extra $6 per month
You HAVE to tell him that Frost sent you there from E-Tegra and that you are using IntegraMOD. This is from me so that you guys can get good hosting, not a vbulletin user or something <!-- s]Server = Pentium D 3.0 Dual Core, 2gb ram, 2 x 250 GB SATA II hard drives, 100Mbit connection
CentOS 4.4
Apache 1.3.37
PHP 4.4.4 and PHP 5.2.1 (Available through an .htaccess switch)
He will show you how by adding a few lines.[/b]

Like I said, I'm not trying to "sell" his hosting, if you don't want to use it, or don't need it simply ignore this post. If you have something better, you might suggest it here for others to help with problems and get everyone a fair deal with good cheap hosting.
