seanybob Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 1) Has the php class ssh2 installed. A function to test if it's installed: ssh2_connect() 2) Support for SFTP connection. Lunarpages (as far as I can tell) supports only ftp. Note, sftp is NOT ftps, nor is it 'ftp with ssl'. SFTP is it's own deal. Number 1 is far more important. I've found some ftp websites that allow you to rent an ftp with sftp access (which covers number 2), but would prefer combining it into a hosting account that also supports number 1 from above. I do not want a dedicated server. I want to pay by the month - I may only need it for one month. Shared servers are prefered just because they are cheaper, but anything works. There will be no 'real' traffic to it - and thus very little bandwith used, just tons of testing with some scripts for a company I work for. Anybody got some insight into this or places to look? Been googling for a while now, and haven't got lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanybob Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Ok, I decided to add a bit of incentive. If you find me a webhosting service that can provide the two things listed above for under $20 for one month, I'll give you my four single player casino mods (video poker, blackjack, roulette, slots) for free. If you allocate me temporary space on your server that has the above services installed for just a week or two, I will give you one license of my texas hold 'em script for free (or some cash if you don't want the script).

Zeggy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 How about a cloud vps with root access? You can install PHP and any libraries you need, as well as an sftp server or anything else you might want to install. http://www.gandi.net Click hosting, it's 11 pounds per month or so for 1 share which should be all you need. Setup with custom installation, choose an os, setup account details and wait :) It *is* paid by the month and your first month is free.

Spudinski Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'd agree quality VPS under $20 is doable. Try http://www.rapidvps.com, the first plan will fit your purposes perfectly at 19.99 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
