Is there any hosts out there that can provides the following along with the hosting plan?

1) Around 10 MB space
2) Quite a number of sub-domains for my domain
3) SSI
4) CGI-Bin (Perl)
5) Reliable And Good Tech Support

Cos. I want to provide free sub-domain services like www.cjb.net , so I need a couple of free sub-domains included inside the hosting plan to help get me started.

Thanks,
Jack

My company has been using CommuniTech for the past six months. They seem to be very reliable and they offer a verity of features at a reasonable price.

They do offer sub-domains, 25 per account. You can set these up, change them, or edit them any time you like, free of charge, however they do not update until 4:00am CST.

You can also look around for a CommuniTech reseller; some offer the same package at almost a $10 discount.

Beyond CommuniTech I don’t know of any hosts that provide free sub domains, CI Host provides them, but they charge $5 per sub domain.

Good luck.

If you want to provide sub-domains then you should probably find a host that will allow wilcards and then get one of those CGI programs that works exactly like CJB or come.to

Hope this helps!

Where can you find WilCards? Can I install it myself, or does my host need to? Is there any script that will allow me to use sub-domains like a Perl Script? Thanks!

Ask your host to enable them. Some hosts will allow wildcards, while other won't.

Once you get wildcards enabled, you should be able to find a script so you can start your own redirection service at:

Hey Adam,

You mention looking for Communitech resellers? I could sure use that info! I'm seriously looking at using Communitech simply for the subdomain capabilities...and their Control Panel seems to be a breeze to use. Do you know the URLs for any resellers? I could sure use the $10 off....I'd appreciate anyone dropping in and posting a link or two.....Bobby

A good subdomain program once you have wildcards enabled is at http://www.customcgi.net/truevirtual/

They also include a small list of some hosts which allow wildcards.
