Virtual hosts with Root Access
Update: I selected Textdrive based on services I needed, and availability. I've used temporary hosting in the past. and I am not sure how long I'll need it.
At $12 a month, I get shell access, (not root) and the ability to use WebDAV and subversion for multiple users. Gotchas include, you must add those users through the other servers button in webmin... then list email accounts and that is how you configure new users. Also although I don't need it, note that the ip is shared on this account so no dyndns stuff. You can configure virtual folders so they show up like this http://test.mytest.example.com
From credit card to log on was about three hours.
Shopping for virtual hosts with root and shell access...
I've found these so far:
- unixshell
- mirrored solutions
- jvds
- linode

Okay, I take that back, they are just another fly-by-night company out for the buck. 1/2 the disk space and thruput of Jumpline at twice the price.
rediculous.
Also the above link is to more horrible gif screen shits.
Why do they bother showing that crap, arent they even using their own technology and personnel to check their own site BEFORE they publish it?
linode's paltform manager looks legit. At least it is secure (you can see the little padlock in the , abeit small, screen shots on their second pages.
Not bad. They also allow installations of your own mods, true shell and root (albeit VDS-like) access.
Just like JumpLine, so probably pretty good.
Thier DrectAdmin product demo should be on a secure server with a secure login - useless demo.
As for mirrored solutions? I dont trust any comapy that has spelling errors all over their first page.
JumpLine kicks mirroredsolutions' ass.
