Hosting

[rude]

The hosting on love2d.org is about to expire, and I'm looking for something with more storage space per $. I've been considering Bluehost, and I'd like to know if any of you have any experiences with them, or if you have any experiences with some other host.

Of course, if someone has hosting space they'd like to donate, that would be cool too.

I can't donate any hosting, but I can give some advice.

It would help knowing the requirements. What's needed, appart of PHP? Which database? Any special libs?

Bluehost sounds allright (it appears first on this list). I haven't worked with them, but I know these guys, 1and1. They are cheap *but* their linux machines tend to be a bit of a bitch to configure, mostly because they are not vanilla installations (preinstalled sotware, package sources pointing to weird servers). I can't comment on their windows-based machines.

What about hosting it on Sourceforge itself?

I usually only use PHP and MySQL, so I have no fancy requirements.

I'm a fan of WebFaction, though it isn't the cheapest and offers a lot of features you might not need.

You might be able to get free hosting from AmbitiousLemon; not sure about their reliability.

NearlyFreeSpeech is awesome if the bandwith requirements are relatively low, though if you use a lot it may end up more expensive than traditional hosting.
