I just found out that the company providing my internet hosting (email/web serving) has folded. For the moment it's still online but I don't expect that to last long.

So I need to find another one, and get my domains transferred, fast. No time for the usual painstaking research!

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, reliable one? My site/email is low volume so I don't need blistering performance, a huge data allowance or (necessarily) an Australian location, but I'd prefer something not too snail-like with Python support (I'm planning to do some Django) and the ability to show up in AU google's "search in Australia".

Cheers for any suggestions.

      Thanks mate but that seems to be for ISPs, not people providing hosting services.

    Hi

    Came across your post by chance, and I'm happy to help you right now, but I'm not sure of the rules here.

    VENTRAIP! Especially 'Deal of the decade'. Love these guys! Not the cheapest…but VERY price efficient for service/reliability!

    I've used Lunarpages for many years, they have been good for a cheapy host.

    The Basic package is $6.95 per month (2 year plan) or $4.95 for 5 years, and I run a number of domains, some small forums and all my mail through it. Never had any dramas, no downtime that I've noticed.

    You have a full Cpanel, unlimited domains, subdomains (but NOT subdomains of add-on domains), unlimited email, webmail, PHP, Perl, Python, SSI, etc.

    I've also found that they have very good customer service.

    As for google's "search in Australia" - I have no idea how that works by default, but you can easily set it so that Google will show a US hosted site as "Australian"…
