This is awesome!! Around Christmas time this year, I will finally get a paid host. I'm going with the tier II plan from http://www.phenominet.com/ . They don't have cgi, but they offer php and mysql and they have good price to bandwidth ratios if you take their per year prices and they throw in a domain name too!

They also answered two support questions of mine within 24 hours.

Phenominet

I've been using them for three months now with a domain that I've not done much with. They don't have a control panel which is irritating. The email server also is somewhat unreliable as I've sent myself test messages a few times that never shows up, although I KNOW there is nothing wrong with the SMTP relays I am using.

Can't complain about the price, however, and David is fairly prompt on tech support for the most part.

I could never get pop3 to work anywhere, so I use web-based mail. I can upload via FTP so everything is okay, and they seem to be good on tech support and good reports on them on uptime.

That host looks good...

They certainly have a fast server but without a control panel? i'd give them a miss. It's standard procedure these days to supply clients with a control panel even if it's only basic. Waiting on your host to create email accounts must be annoying.

The main thing I look for is bandwidth. 10Gb is quite a bit more than 6GB, so I will go with Phenom. I might upgrade to super-hosting from them later.
