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

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

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

edit: never mind

It's almost a year since this post.

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