[Cialug] OT: Hosting

[Afan Pasalic]

For several small projects and tests I use Hostmonster (hostmonster.com) 
as hosting company. Happy with them. Phone and Chat support 24/7 - for 
me very important.
After you submit copy of ID you can have ssh access to the server.
cPanel for adminstration.
You can have unlimited number of domains - as Addon domains, of course.
They have Fantastico that could make your life easier for CMS testings :D

p.s. not affiliated with them but as customer.
