If you get a lot of responses you might consider writing up something nice which someone might put in a FAQ (although it may be dated). Would, by chance, you want telnet access to your server? I could not imagine any other way. You can write cron jobs to restart your database if it goes down, etc. I began using a company called iserver.com way back in 1995 and I've been using them ever since, even after they were bought by Verio. The only way you can get more control is by having a dedicated box. Pricing starts at US$55.00 a month and up but you might try one of their resellers. I worked for Summit Communications (http://www.summitdesign.net/) and they give me a discount from the retail price. Details on what you get are here: http://www.viaverio.com/products/vps.cfm I've heard there is a linux package which provides the same sort of "sandbox" environment but I don't know anyone selling it. I've seen hordes of hosting where they expect me to talk to my database from a script ... never, I like to pipe commands and just work in the client from time to time.
