Looking for new host?

Hi, I am looking for a new web host, not necessarily a free one , but one
that offers reliable service. I have had several hosts in the last year,
most of them weren't reliable! My only requirements are Linux, SSH access,
and 99.5+ % uptime guarantee. Thank you in advance.

Judy S.

The one and only host I would reccommend are Pathfinder Host. The best I
have ever dealt with and that sums up their whole service.

Thanks,

Glad you know what you want! I have several reseller accounts, but not
many services offer SSH access, and what would you be after if the 99.5%
uptime 'guarantee' failed (ie what compensation would you be after) ?

Hi Judy,
Most of the places would not allow SSH access .
Why do you need SSH in the first place.
Also when asking for SSH you must have a photo identity of your which you
can give then it is not going to be a problem. Else everybody would think
you are a spammer or hacker.

I wish you luck

Yes I really have to know the person and can trust them before I give them
SSH.

Why? What am I missing. SSH is a secure shell, so why apprehension
before letting someone use it?

It really depends on why you need it. Some people like myself allow SSH if a
good enough reason is given I saw somewhere once that most FTP programs can
do most that SSH can do so I dont know if that is true or not but if your
serious about shell and can say why you need it I will allow it.

Generally it is easier to hack a server or get the info of other users with
shell access.
Say for example a hosting company could take an account from you and take in
all details of your clients and try to get them. Hence shell access must be
restricted.
Have a nice day

I hope you're not implying that just because someone has SSH access, on your
server, they have access to all your customer info and can run all sorts of
bad things, etc. That's not true at all. Anyone who knows how, can run
just about anything via CGI that they could/can via SSH...its just more
convenient to do it via SSH.

Anyway, most any Cpanel host should be able to give you SSH access (directed
to the original poster).
