Uhm may I suggest that you consider switching hosts? SSH is kind of
standard these days, I certainly won't consider a host unless they
provide SSH access, [...]
It's the same in Denmark where I come from: most cheap webhosts also
don't want to give you SSH access. :-( So for me it was a big luxus
when I got it for my site with a US host.
I personally recommend http://www.dreamhost.com/ Very reasonable, PHP,
MySQL, full ssh access.
I rarely require SSH access. SSH is merely a luxury that one can adapt to by
changing a few habits e.g. using command-line rather than front-ends to file
management. The last thing I want to do is move away from hosts that served me
so well with approximately 99.9% uptime, even now that I suffer the spam
equivalent of the Slashdot Effect on a daily basis.
I think I once read about Dreamhost.com banning a user from establishment of
database connections as he was hammering it too hard. That sounds incompetent
to me as they appeared to have not preceded the move with a gentle warning.
That's the problem with large 'meat market' companies that perceive their
clients as 'little people'.
