OT: Webhost search for Mirrormere? (RPS/FPS)
For a small archive, Mirrormere at http://avia.silverbloom.net/mirror/ has had its ups and downs, but one thing that has grown is bandwidth usage**.
While there is an archive staff, I could never ask them for funding because they generously contribute their time with site management. And I couldn't ask visitors or authors for donations because they donate by sharing their works and reviews and there are bigger organizations that need donations. So, my option left is to find an affordable webhost because I don't have the budget. Mirrormere's current host is quoting $60/month, if the site is to stay (250megs diskspace and 80gigs bandwidth). Slashcity has quoted a more generous package at nearly that price. However, as reasonably priced as those fine hosts are considering they are not overselling their resources, the price is unfortunately out of my budget. I'm currently paying $18/month for 500megs diskspace and 20gigs bandwidth.
I'm asking if folks can either post or privately email webhosting suggestions, please? My address is redina [@] mindspring.com. I'm researching various suggestions received.
Requirements:
I'm looking for 250megs diskspace, 75-80gigs bandwidth,
MySQL/PHP/Perl, and room on the Terms of Service (i.e. TOS that won't get its panties in a twist over fanfic).
Would be very nice in transferring the site faster:
SSH/telnet access
I know DreamHost has popped up as a rec among fandom folk but I also remember their servers can get slow during promo periods of growth and overselling resources.
Thanks, if this is possible.
