the number one thing i want to know when looking for hosting is exactly what os/software versions does the system run. extra credit for procmail hooks and email aliases. on some hosters that info is pretty up front, on others i can't find it anywhere!
i haven't found a shared hosting solution that provides python2.5 and django, let alone fastcgi, so i've always setup my own virtual server.
- jusob 18y agoThanks. I'm trying right now to get the phpinfo for most hosts. It is easy for the big players (Godaddy, 1&1, etc.), but much harder for the small ones. At least I should add the Apache version (it looks like a lot of hosts still use Apache 1.3.x). I'm not sure if it is a good idea to ask directly each company about such details, it will be hard to keep the information up to date (and to ensure they don't lie/don't make errors).
