Hi all. I am looking for a web host for a site. The usual host I work with is missing some important functionality, so I need to look elsewhere for this project. Specifically, I need web host that offers the following:

- PHP 5.2.x
- SOAP support
- MySQL 5.0.x
- Allows .htaccess configuration

My current host is fine aside from the SOAP support, which is missing.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for such a host? I'd prefer shared (it shouldn't be a super-high-traffic site), but if necessary I'm open to dedicated if it's not too pricey. I am willing to pay for quality service (so I don't need a cheapo $5/month site).

Larry,

I'm on 5.2.4 on the primary server right now, and if you need
something installed at root level, it's usually no problem (especially
for things like SOAP). Send me a message off-list if you haven't
already found what you're looking for, and if you want references,
there are some on the list here even who host some sites with me. Let
me know and I'm sure it won't be a problem to have them give you an
*honest* opinion about things.

Plus, for a few people here, I don't have much issue with granting
sudo.... but don't tell anyone else. ;-P

Which is exactly why you get the following FANTASTIC package!

* No shell access
* No databases
* No scripting support
* No FTP access
* 500K shared web space (additional 500K blocks are just $7.99)
* A free @gmail.com address
* No tech support
* No crons
* No SSI
* No SSL
* 5MB transfer per month (additional 1MB blocks are only $4.99)

All for the exclusive Internet price created just for you: $99.99
per month with a $99 one-time setup fee and $7/mo. account maintenance
fee. ;-P

All kidding aside, it's rather reminiscent of the pioneering days
of the web hosting industry. Check it out on the Internet Archive.
