They'll also be switching from FreeBSD to Linux. Since I desire to "eat my own dogfood" and continue to have my sites and pages "Powered by FreeBSD" I am back in the market looking for a new webhost. Currently I pay about $8/month for 12GB of storage, 300GB of bandwidth/month, and 5 MySQL databases. I need at least 4 databases (preferably more), and currently average 200-300MB/month transfer (although I peaked last year one month at 6GB for the month, but that's rare). I currently use 2.5GB but my space needs will gradually increase. I'd like to find a comparable plan at a webhost that uses FreeBSD servers. Pair is out of my league. I've had bad previous experience with iPowerWeb. Any others?
