My current web host has flaked out on me, and, unless they have a terribly good reason and tell me what it is pretty dang soon, I'm going to be needing a new one ASAP.
Looking for:
someone who I can call on the phone when things are broken and reach a human
A reasonable SLA
lots of storage space
minimal maintenance/paying attention to stuff responsibilities on my part (so someone actively applying security patches and such on their end rather than a bare server where I'm in charge of day-to-day maintenance)
unlimited or at least a great many email addresses (I have a domain and filter stuff through a ton of different aliases to about 10 different actual mailboxes) with web-based email access
no overzealous copyright patrol that will assume that large music files are automatically a sign of piracy (I make live recordings at conventions and, upon request, share them with the musicians I recorded but not the general public - I let the musicians handle further distribution from there)
I don't need much day-to-day bandwidth since I mostly use my domain for email, but I do occasionally need to send (and, I suppose, receive) the aforementioned large music files.
I realize that those features cost money, and I'm used to paying a reasonable amount of money for those features. That being said, I don't want to pay absurdly large amounts of money for no particular reason.
Any suggestions?
