I am battling to find one anywhere were you basically can create your website from scratch from the shell and add as you go along. please point me in the right direction thanks -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Hey, I've just signed up last week with <a href="http://drupalvaluehosting.com">drupalvaluehosting.com</a> I paid $5/mo to buy a year in advance ($60) and got shell (ssh) & cpanel access. Usual huge amounts of disk/bandwidth - 2TB disk 9TB/mo bandwidth. I run drupal on it, but you can just as easily run joomla. Only downside to this particular package is no ffmpeg - it's too cpu intensive to realisticaly run fairly on shared hosting accounts. It got decent writeups on the <a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> forums. It seems to be Indian owned/run but US hosted. Online support tickets only, no phone number, but they have responded to me within an hour or two the few times I've needed them in the initial setup. cheers, Owen. N.B. I've never had any any other hosting, so I can't honestly compare them, but it's been good so far. I can upload ~100KBps and download ~200KBps from here in Sydney/Australia. It's apparently much faster in the US - ymmv
