I would like to thank those who answered this post. I forgot to put the requirements in the initial post, so, here is the amended version.
So, I am looking for hosting:
- Disk space: 500 Mb
- Transfer: 3 Gb
- Control Panel
- DNS zone editing (e.g. add records, delegate a subdomain to another name server, etc.)
- Possibility to add subdomains that point to the same web server (e.g. in a subdirectory). No framed or javascript redirects please.
- Unlimited e-mail forwarders (with unlimited number of target addresses)
- I explain: I need to forward e-mail from staff[at]mydomain.com to 50 or more targets,
e.g. to user1[at]host1.com, user2[at]host2.com,... user50[at]host50.com.
- Autoresponders
- Apache 1.3.20+
- mod_rewrite
- mod_headers
- mod_expires
- mod_gzip or mod_deflate or similar on-the-fly server-side compression
- mod_perl
- Server Side Includes (SSI)
- .htaccess files
- password protection
- mod_rewrite rules
- Options +Indexes, Options +MultiViews, AddCharset, DefaultCharset
- custom MIME types (e.g. AddType, etc)
- custom error pages (ErrorDocument)
- Perl 5
- DBI and DBD-mysql modules
- own CGI-bin directory
- PHP 4.2.x or greater
- unlimited FTP updates
- SSH (desired)
- MySQL (how many databases and what is the quota?)
- downloadable log files (e.g. monthly log files)
- not more than 15$/month
- A support forum would be a good sign
Note: I am moving from a hosting company who uses obsolete software built in 1996, e.g. Apache 1.3.6 and PHP 4.0.2. I need recent software which is reasonably regularly updated.
