I'm looking for a good UNIX webhost, specifically a BSD or maybe a more secure Linux (Slackware/Debian/etc). Something that'll give me some space (god, I've seen like 25 megs of space going for 50 bucks a month!) and a good transfer rate (something around/over 10gigs per month, I got plans

). I'd like alotta features (PHP, Perl, MySQL, the works) and all that in a some what cheap price. Anyone know a good place for this? I've checked around the net for a while now, and most the stuff I'm finding I'd end up paying another 100 bucks for stuff I don't want just to get another 50 meg's of space. I'm trying to be as non-picky as possible, while still making sure I get what I want.

And on that, anyone know a *good* banner ad thing so I can earn a little cash to pay off for the service?

Word of advice, don't use Safe-Audit. Cr0bar has informed us of why Safe-Audit sucks.

it's gonna be for a company thing me and a couple friends are starting. I'm trying not to say a lot about it because some domain squatters, or any other idiot, might steal our idea. But basicly we're leaving the door open to what ever we wanna do, but we're gonna start with web based things. We'll do web design work and crap, scripts and what not, what ever people want. Open Source, of Course

. But our "business plan" will hopefully give us room to do other things...

Oh, and I remember the Safe-Audit thing. That's what i meant by "*good* banner ad" .

Edited for this : I forgot to say I'm also gonna run a couple things not related to the company on there, like my personal page... But, my personal page might pull in higher margins from banner ads then the other stuff cuz of stuff I host on it (lots of stuff most heterosexual males and homosexual females might like... no pr0n though, but kinna close). So yeah, it won't be totally for business related stuff.
