I know this might hurt a couple of people's feelings, but i'm looking to start up a business venture i've been thinking about for a while. I've come across a few hosting companies in my time, and none have really set me alight.
Anyone know of an good, independent site that compares companies' reliability and plans?
http://www.hostchart.com seems to do it, but it is a bit big, and not easy to get answers out of it.
Ideally, i'm looking for a plan that can grow to quite big storage and transfer rates, if it ever does take off (i'll be aiming to store and offer files for download, although due to practicalities of this, I might change policies), so that'll influence the plan most. But I will also need good PHP, MySql, password protectable realms, and a very configurable control panel too.
Cheers in advance.
