News.YC, all that I want is a simple LAMP stack with standard settings for my wordpress blogs that's fast, has excellent uptime, has SSH access, and will automatically adjust for traffic if I'm Dugg. I'm even happy to pay a premium (up to $50/mo) for a _good_ service that's
not going to make me deal with administrivia.
I've been using Media Temple, and they suck.
Please help me. This must be useful information for others here, too.
Some drawbacks are that there's no FastCGI, so no Django or Rails, and you can't get your own IP address, even for money, so no TLS. Also, it's Apache 1.3, if you care. If you just need to run some Wordpresses, they do a bang-up job or running mod_php 5.
