I would continue my hosting at yahoo but due to .htaccess I have to leave as it doesn't support this file extension.

Now, I am looking for the same feature at similar cost which is reliable, and best costumer support. Therefore I would be greateful if you let me know such host.

Thanks in advance

ang2el -- good to hear you're moving away from the pre-fabricated webhost package.

The best place I know to search for advice about webhosts is WebHostingTalk.com.

I am searching in the webhosttalk but hasen't found similar to yahoo, Since its more than a week I don't think I can get better than yahoo in terms of price, fexibility & support.

Only reason I want to leave yahoo is it doen's support .htaccess file. I would be grateful if anyone could help me to find the best host than yahoo.

Thanks in advance

200GB/month of data transfer

You don't need that much...

I've heard good things about asmallorange: http://www.asmallorange.com/services/hosting/

I'd also recommend asmallorange, they really are the best for forum hosting packages.

Do you think 25 GB of their bandwith would help my forum with more 100 user per day after few months????

edit: never mind

ALL Reseller :: Complete Reseller Solution! has been good for me

It's almost a year since this post.

Are they still good? What size is fine for a start-up?
