So I'm thinking of switching over to a different site. I checked out webhostingbuzz, but they don't offer full SSH access. Here's what I need:

  • Linux webhosting with PHP and Rails
  • Proper SSH access so that I can test and run things from the comfort of a terminal
  • >= 10 GB of transfer per month (who knew I used 8 GB?)
  • >= 5 GB disk space (currently using 1.3 GB)
  • >= 10 domains
  • >= 20 databases (development and stuff)

Anything you'd recommend?

I need PHP, MySQL, mail hosting, FTP access, 1 GB storage, and ImageMagick support. We use less than 1 GB a month. I'd like shell access. Python and Perl support would be really fun. Ruby would make me thrilled. I plan to set up a tagged photoblog / photographers' portfolio.

We're currently paying ~ USD 8 / month. I'd prefer to keep money in the Philippines, and most of our traffic comes from the Philippines anyway. Know of any locally-hosted servers? If not, I'll probably go for http://www.site5.com/hosting/comparison.php .
