I need to find a new Internet hosting provider.

read below only if the provider you are abandoning is not dreamhost,

All I used them for was:
* e-mail forwarding
- forward the vanity domain addresses to appropriate
yahoo/google mail accounts
* DNS management
- use their DNS server to point some sub-domains
to the static IPs at our office
* WWW/storage?
We really did not use WWW,
We just used the WWW storage area
for on-line backups.

We use dreamhost exactly with the features you mentioned above,<BR>
for some domains we use their email servers,<BR>
others transparently forward to google (never tried yahoo)<BR>
<BR>
we run a bunch of heavy web apps on servers colocated in Albuquerque (Prism)<BR>
and we use DH DNS to redirect all http related,<BR>
<BR>
For a another couple of domains, <BR>
we just manage DNS from godaddy,<BR>
to direct requests to our servers without using DH email srvs nor their DNS<BR>
<BR>
although DH offers unlimited all<BR>
I remember that when running a memory intense app, <BR>
it will be just killed if the memory of its process goes over a little threshold,<BR>
<BR>
with storage that doesn't seem to be a problem,<BR>
you can copy your keys and do rsync to any folder on your /home<BR>
it won't be seen unless on a http path, or you can put your own .httpaccess file,<BR>
<BR>
you can even install git locally and run your repos there,<BR>
(you can really install whatever you want via ssh on your own user account)<BR>
<BR>
although for hosting code I'd recommend <A HREF="http://github.com">http://github.com</A> <BR>
it is our only place for code, we pay a private plan and is totally worth it,<BR>

Both godaddy and 1and1 offer WWW hosting plans
with 150-250 GB storage for around $10/month.

i.e. We really didn't use the WWW hosting,
but we pushed some cyphertext up there for backup.
Both claim some sort of ssh access.
It is my hope that we can find a way to run
something like rsync over that ssh,
and perhaps make our cyphertext non-readable
to the WWW server. Worst case, put
it in a folder that is shut off using
.htaccess?
The off-line storage will be just for a few critical things,
like source code repositories.
I think we can keep it to about 10-40GB (depending on pruning),
with very little storage update bandwidth.
Thanks for any advice,
aaron
