Hosting Provider

I'm looking for a web hosting provider but have a unusual requirement, apparently. I've been looking around on the internet for this for some time, but I can't seem to find the host type that I need. I am not asking for people to go out and search for this for me, I just want to know from your own, personal experiences if any of you know of a provider that has all of these features. I can't find one that has them all:

Storage: at least 1/2 gigabyte
Emails: 50 accounts minimum
Transfer: 30+ GB / month
FTP Access
SSH or Telnet Access
1 mySQL database (or more)
Perl and PHP support
SSI

Now, I've found ALL of those things EXCEPT the SSH or Telnet access on a number of hosting sites. Why more sites don't allow command line access, I do not know... I'm not looking to break the bank with this site either - I'm talking $15 a month max. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Awesome! Do you use them as your own provider or is this just a suggestion? I've signed up with some real "doozies" in the past - ones where they say "99.9% uptime" and it ends up being more like 62% uptime... Thanks for the light-speed response, by the way! Mr. Sulu couldn't have done it more quickly himself.

I use them for my own website... which gets high traffic a month... it's been great... top notch support.

The only problem is sometimes they have no room left to sell hosting... unless they add servers....

???!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Gotta love the little guy (small businesses). I'll try 'em out- what's the worst that can happen? I lose my $13.50! I can spare the cost of a pizza to see if they're what I need. Thanks again.

You could always run your own dedicated server for about $50 a month and resell some of it to offset the costs.

I recomend: www.tomsyer.net for dedicated servers.

Thanks, but that is a bit outside of my price range, and I don't want to have to deal with "customers" of my own. I just want this as a place to host family photos and to experiment with programming (hence the PHP / mySQL / SSH requirement). Thanks for the interesting idea, though.
