Web Hosting Recommendations

Hello, List,

At length, I'm back online, into my new house, and up to my ears in unpacking,
newspaper, and empty boxes (and, just now, snow). Moving is the most odious 
undertaking. May the Lord so bless me that I never have to do this again.

The bad news is that Verizon does not have the facilities in place in the 
central office that serves my house to provide DSL service, so I'm no longer 
able to host my own Web and mail server. :-( As an interim solution, we're 
connected to the Internet by Comcast's cable service and I'm using a Linksys
router to NAT the internal network. That part was easy.

The "hard" part is finding a place to host KurtWerks and to accumulate the
email addressed to kurtwerks.com email addresses. As it is, email sent to
foo at kurtwerks.com is bouncing or winding up in /dev/null. I want to lose 
the Gmail address as soon as possible. Requirements for the hosting are 
minimal:

* SSH and FTP access
* Apache and the ability to configure it
* PHP
* MySQL
* 

Basically, what I'm looking for is the same control I enjoyed when I could run
the server myself. Recommendations?

Thanks!

Kurt
