Well, I've been noticing that these message boards get a lot of the same requests. So I've decided to create this thread to stop all these repeat requests. Hopefully, it will at least last a week or so before it drops down to the deeper pages. If you are a user looking for a host, take a look at the descriptions below, and see if they match any of your requirements. If so, use the suggested hosts provided. If not, then start a new topic on these forums. Hopefully, this will keep us regulars less annoyed at all the people asking for the same things over and over again. If you know of a reliable host that fits these requirements, please reply, and I will add it ASAP. The same goes with inaccuracies. Thanks for your support!

"I desperately need PHP and a decent amount of space (maybe 15-25 MB). I would be willing to accept a few ads (banner or pop-under, but not both!), but I would definitely prefer it if the host had no-ads. I need as much transfer as possible. MySQL is optional."

"I need a host that will accept large files and provides quite a large amount of transfer. I do need FTP, but no scripting languages are necessary. Ads should be kept to a minimum, as I am keeping my entire site here as well."

"I don't care about space or ads or transfer. 5-10 MB space, a pop-up + banners, 300 MB a month transfer would even be enough. All I need is reliability. A host that is not likely to go down soon, and a host that has minimal downtime. Do you know of any hosts?"

"I desperately need CGI for an Ikonboard or YaBB I am looking to host. I don't mind ads, as long as they aren't too annoying. I just need 10 MB of space, and the host must have FTP. Please recommend some hosts!"

"I urgently need unlimited space (or at least 50 MB, unlimited transfer, PHP, MySQL, CGI-bin, SSI, and ASP. Domain hosting and FTP are also absolutely necessary! The host must not have a file size limit, and .zip, .mp3, .exe and .rar must be enabled, along with .doc, .txt, .swf, .r01, .r02, .r03, and .wav. It should provide me with 10 POP3 accounts and unlimited subdomains. SSL, SSH, and Telnet would be very helpful. Oh yeah, and it should be fast and have 99.9% uptime."
Umm...now where do we begin?
