Host recommendations? Probably going with digitaldaze.

I'm sorry to bore everyone with yet another 'Who's a good host' inquiry but I am probably about to sign up for a virtual server account at digitaldaze and would appreciate hearing of any recent good or bad comments. I'm also happy to hear alternatives. These are my requirements: Recent versions of MySQL and PHP4 (preferably running as an Apache module). The biggie I keep running into: My scripts must not be readable by other users on the same machine. I've found this to be a real problem on the vast majority of low cost hosts who require scripts to be world readable to use the Apache module PHP. One of the scripts always contains the MySQL password. I have solved this in the past by using a host with cgiwrap or suExec and compiling PHP as my own CGI and not using their module but for my next project I really want the performance of the module. SSL for a few secure pages. (low cost using the host's domain and certificate). Telnet, FTP. Linux or BSD development environment etc. Email forwarding. A few POP mailboxes would be nice but not essential. Value for money but not looking for rock bottom price. Thanks Ross
