Hosting: Price and longevity.

Well its time to renew my .com registration. Done a search (back to a couple of years back when I asked a similar question!) though it seems as though a lot of the companies recomended have gone bust in the last couple of years.

I was with freeparking.co.uk who were cheap enough. Trouble is they insisted on a maximum of 2megs of email on their server at a time which resulted in lots of missed emails. Anyway not only were they crap (took weeks to propagate) but they are now bust too as of a few months ago (though the few months previous to their bellyupping resulted in lots of hair loss as strange errors crept up).

Therefore looking for a hosting company with a bit of history behind it and a realistic pricing structure. I only really have Claranet in mind so any other suggestions would be most welcome. If anyone knows of a cheapie with MySQL support then that would be doubly welcome.
