Latest recommendations for a web host?

[kopat]

Hi - I'm about to start looking for a good web host for a site I've been developing recently (nearly finished ). Thought I'd ask this forum for an up to date view on who comes well recommended these days (any view on costs per annum would also be great).

Basic requirements are:

-Single web site
-SSL Certificate required
-Needs to run Joomla 1.5.3 & SugarCRM 5.0.0 out the box
-Good set of Apache/PHP modules enabled (rewrite and password protection a must)
-3GB monthly traffic
-10 Email accounts (IMAP & POP access with decent spam filter)
-High availability (UK-based preferred) + ability to take my own backups easily.

Any thoughts?

Decent set of requirements.. Worth checking out the offers forum here or also taking a trip to webhostingtalk.com which is packed full of web hosts, reviews and recommendations.

A typical linux host would suffice.

If you're looking for reliability, I would stay clear of the huge oversellers (those terabytes of space and bandwidth for next to nothing)..

Good luck!

You thought of using a Windows based host SugarCRM and Joomla work fine on IIS, MOD_ReWrite too.

Your welcome to do some testing if you wish

And from where, may I ask, are you going to get 3GB of traffic when you're asking questions like that? Or are you simply trying to flush out the usual "must grab biz" respondents?

Any half decent Linux or other Unix based host will do the job for you without 24 hourly restart interruptions.

As we're all sober, then, it should be clear enough. Servers are there to serve. Ours are.

I use Carl at CS New Media, who is a member on here.

I have been a very difficult and demanding customer (only at the start) and not once has he ignored me - responding promptly always! lol

I have used "go daddy dot com" for a lot of sites. They have a great selection of packages.

Any fans of Digg or Diggnation will probably recognise the name

One of their best features is some of the best support I have come across for a hosting company.
