back to the old question again - best hosts?

[scottyman]

I'm looking for cpanel/fantastico, 15 domains, full (reliable) dns control, imap and 3gb (or more) of storage.
I'm not worried if it's in the US of A, but would prefer UK or European hosting

servage looks pretty good, but they don't support cpanel and fantastico, but I'm impressed by their offering.

currently with HU, who after 24 hours of downtime are still restoring from backup, but have not even made their DNS live, so as a result, I've got no e-mail through to my mailserver.

i can live without my website for 24 hours, but as of 11am yesterday was going slightly mental about the whole dns issue. they can't get their heads around the fact that probably 30-40% of the people using their servers prefer to run their own dedicated mail servers, and as a result we're going slightly bonkers.

so key features

3gb storage
fast
imap
fantastico
dns
multiple-domains

any ideas? I'm stressed before 10am, and have a major headache coming on.

ouch - good DNs controll is a pain - and shifting hosts is going to give you an even bigger outtage.

I presume you want a single account for the multiple domains , not 1 per domain etc.
1and1 seem might do somethign that would float your boat ?

( under hosting - and the pro package ? )

in an ideal world ( where hosts dont crash , only client sites ) having an SMTP spool / feed is a nice idea , but not that many hosts will offer it.

Its also worth having a chat with Jonathon from Fluent - he might be able to do a package suited closer to your needs ) - if its good enoguh to host hexus.....

[scottyman]

very true - the only thing I care about right now is e-mail, and I despise 1and1, but then I hear they now offer "free" php hosting
they just tend to get very expensive.

I'll talk to Fluent, as I have a client I want to send their way. ta for that.

NE1 else have any ideas?

[Moby-Dick]

scotty I think you may be over your Pm quota - you should just be able to get a responce on the sales@fluent.ltd.uk address ( dont forget to mention Hexus )

[ham_p_ster]

*sob* this is scottyman in disguise - I've managed to get myself banned - gmail wouldn't accept the message from hexus forums, and I presume my account can't be unlocked until I can acknowledge the e-mail address change.

[Moby-Dick]

will contact you on AIM.

[ham_p_ster]

thansk for that - online now.

[scottyman]

my god... what a disaster this has turned out to be...
couldn't even vent online, since I made a bad timing error in tryingto change my e-mail address.

i need a beer.
