I went with Sledge's recommendation,
ICDSoft .
$60/year, more space and bandwidth than
I'll need, 1,000 POP3 accounts, private CGI
directory, PHP, perl, database, etc. etc.
I've now had some experience with their
tech support people. Filed a trouble ticket,
got a detailed answer in less time than it
took me to check my e-mail -- call it seven
minutes or less -- and it was not only prompt,
it was correct.
Got some PHP pages cooking already, am
enjoying the web stats (I've been crawled
by Alta Vista already
)... quite satisfied
overall.
[No doubt some of the other places you kind
folks suggested would also be good.]
Thanks again!
