Hi there, after weeks of looking around for a good reliable host ive come to the conclusion that i want hosting with The Planet.

The problem perhaps is that im pretty much totally new to hosting etc. I want to host a wordpress blog/portfolio/forum, for which ill need PHP 4.2 or greater, MySQL 4.0 or greater and the mod_rewrite Apache module. After spending a lot of time reading about your different hosting packages and what they offer me i feel im a bit lost and was hoping you’d be able to clear some things up for me.
I obviously dont need a dedicated server (yet icon_razz.gif) so i asume that im looking at managed web hosting. Now is this effectivly the same as what i call “normal” hosting packages other webhosts offer e.g. “x” amount of webspace, “x” amount of bandwidth + all the bells and whistles for “x” amount per month?

If so then what kind of prices am i looking at for that kind of setup? If im reading correctly you can tailer your packages around my needs so would you recommend in terms of bandwidth/webspace etc id be needing and is it easy to upgrade if this becomes a limiting factor once i grow my site?

I hope this all makes sense, im basically just trying to find out if you offer “general” hosting packages and not just larger packages built more for business. I know i could go and buy some hosting with another company offering me stupid amounts of disk space and bandwidth but i really am looking for something that has good reliable technical support and stability to back it up. Basically i want the best of the best, and i hope im in the right place

Discuss this at planet forums or get a dedicated server from theplanet.com for $50 only
