I'm using Pair for several years now and have absolutely no complaint with their uptime or email services. They even up the disk space quota from 150MB to 200 MB recently with no price increases.

However I seriously want to use MySQL and PHP but the cheapest way to do that is to go from $5.95/mo to $29.95/mo.

I seriously wish they would provide MySQL/PHP/CGI access at lower price points, but now I am seriously looking at plans like icdsoft that charge $5 for much more than I get with Pair.

As I said, the only problem with Pair is lack of advanced features for low-end accounts.
