Re: [phpesp-general] Recomendation for service provider to run phpesp

[Brian W. <br...@be...>]

If you're looking for shared hosting that is cheap and reliable:

http://pixiehost.com/services.php?c=shared

$6.95/mo 600 MB
$9.95/mo 900 MB
etc.

I asked them to install things like perl modules and emacs and both 
times they did it (server wide) same day.

In 4 months I've seen the site be a little sluggish, so you might get 
better response times from another provider.

You get shell access to a Linux or BSD box, so phpESP would need to be 
installed manually.
