I may not get very many answers, posting this to a free blogging service, but I'm looking to transfer my family's personal website from my own webserver (located in my house and therefore limited to my ISP's crotchety bandwidth restrictions) to a hosted server somewhere. Does anyone have any good suggestions/experience with anyone?
Things I am specifically looking for:
- shell (SSH) access
- FTP/SFTP access
- ability to host multiple domains/subdomains on the same account
- PHP/MySQL/CGI availability
- .htaccess modification capabilities
- Reasonable disk storage
- Reasonable bandwidth
- Backup capabilities (either on-server or exportable)
- Reasonable monthly fees (not exorbitant)
The one I've come across that seems to handle all of these (and more) is BlueHost.com, but again I have no experience with them so I don't know how they measure up. They might be overkill, but then again, I haven't seen a lot for cheaper without going with someone with a reduced feature set (e.g. godaddy).
Depending on what I end up getting, I may end up using this as a remote backup mechanism for my personal PC, too, using something like rsync.
Any ideas?
