Topic: Hosting providers

[-<WillyP>-]

For the most part I've been pretty happy with my current hosting provider, Bravenet, but a few issues, related to another project I am working on, have prompted me to look at other providers. While there have been no issues directly related to Planet Descent or any existing site, Planet Descent would move along with all my other sites as I don't want to pay for two hosting accounts.

The issues I am having relate to PHP settings (memory and timeout), and no cron. The cron I can get around by using a website that offers cron jobs for free, but I don't think that is ideal, especially when most providers offer unlimited cron. The settings however won't allow me to install Drupal Commons. I've spoken to Bravenet on these issues and they say they don't offer cron, and that setting are a security issue.

I thought I'd ask y'all for recommendations for shared hosting providers. Any thoughts? My front running contender atm is A Small Orange.
