Secure, Shared Hosting?

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-a-secure-and-comfortable-nest-for-your-boxen dept.

skrysakj asks: "I have been searching high and low for a hosting company that can provide SSL encrypted POP3 or IMAP at an affordable price. I'd like something that is shared, not dedicated, to keep costs down. I believe that pghoster.com is a good option, since they offer a personal SSL certificate, a dedicated IP address, and more. Has anyone else found another viable and cost effective solution? Other features, such as SPAM filters, control panels, PHP, MySQL are all 'standard' but I just can't seem to find a company that offers that extra mile for paranoid security freaks such as myself."

    What about the shared hosting we do is via User Mode Linux we offer root access on a shared host, but everyone is totally seperate at a lot lower cost than dedicated.

  2. Dreamhost by attaboy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've had great luck with Dreamhost. They offer both SSL POP3 and SSL IMAP. I can't rave enough about their hosting. I did a lot of research into hosting companies, and they consistently came up as one of the top companies in the business.

    Fair disclosure: If you use that link and end up buying from them, I get a small "referral" credit on my own hosting bill. However, I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't think they were absolutely the best.

    I would like to point out that he is using EV1.NET for hosting. Use traceroute and check for yourself. Thusly and therefore, whether he's a sales troll or merely using Slash to avoid price shopping, he receives my fullest and most complete endorsement.

    Thumbs up for EV1.NET.

    Looks legitimate. Doesn't look like he has a business relation with the company based on his resume

    My own advice is 1and1.com, cheapest virtual hosting available. May not have everything he needs. If you want dedicated, I would say managed.com, 1TB of bandwidth for $60.

    Is this a question or an advertisement for pghoster.com? If you've got a product you want to advertise to the slashdot community, it's relatively simple to come up with a "question" that subtlely advertises your product. Free advertising; all you have to do is submit a "question". The Big Corps are gonna love it!

    RandomMarkter asks: "Hey, I heard Coca-Cola(TM) is a great, refreshing, tasty beverage that seems to be just what I'm looking for, have you tried one lately? I've also been thinking about grabbing a bite to eat while hacking, and I found a website for Pizza Hut(TM), has anyone else heard of this company? I've got to pay for it somehow, I was thinking of getting a MasterCard(TM), which has a fantastic new low introductory APR of only 9.99%, what should I do?
