Hello everybody!

I desperately need a new GOOD ISP.

This is what I need:
-NOT very expensive;
-Unix\Linux\FreeBSD;
-PHP/MySQL;
-Cron support;
-Protected directories;
-Web-mail;
-High bandwidth;
-Good customer support, of course.

Reason? My site was down too often and the number of visitors was too unpredictable. It jumped from 400 to 60 within one week. I ordered a profound examination of my web-site at http://www.dotcom-monitor.com (website and network monitoring company). In their report the following reasons were mentioned:
-"Slow Website Response"
-"Slow Web Page Response"
-"Varying Website Response from Different Geographical Locations"

I'm sure it is Extcom's (my current provider) fault, but communication with the Customer Support brings only promises and excuses. This persuades me that it's high time to move my site to a completely different place.

:(

Your advice? I have two companies in view but ALL your recommendations are welcomed :)
 
Hello Andy,
Do you have a particular budget in mind? You say "NOT very expensive" Does that mean less then $10/Month or more then $10/Month. Also, do you know how much disk and transfer is used per month? These are the 3 main factors that can help you decide (as well as customer support and their responsivness.)

You need to be careful not to choose someone who offers too much for a tiny price. It sounds attractive but can lead to reliability problems in the end.
