After a year I'm proud to say I'm you may have heard about all my hosting woes.

Long story short one day I found my site down after emailing them I was notified(48 hours later) that they didn't like my content about going to the fifth hope and they had touted adult hosting friendly. After all that I decided I needed a good, cheap, reliable, fast, hacker/free speach friendly hoasting service eventually I found Hurricane electric. I couldn't have made a better choice they offer all i could ask for. They are up all the time with a self-healing national backbone and tech support is instantanious no please hold for an hour not to mention they know what they are talking about and even better they speak english! you get ftp & shell access. and everything else you could want...
off the top of my head:
Server Side Includes
Streaming Audio/video/flash exc.
your own CGI bin
Secure Servers and SSL
Site Logs
DNS access
Cron access
Adult Sites Allowed for preople on the busness plan
pop email with any feature you could hope for even pine via shell
Sub Domains
.htacess support
bittorrent
MySQL, PHP and custom MIME Types
and lots of stuff I forgot. Anyway if you want the perfect Hoast go to He.net
untill then My host is better than yours.
