Looking for webhost that allows proper .htaccess permissions

    Hi all,

    I am looking for a Webhost that will allow me to write proper .htaccess files.
    Something like,

    
    RewriteEngine On
    Options +Followsymlinks
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    ...
    
    Code (markup):
    I know almost every Webhost offer such a package but not many explicitly tell you about it until it’s too late.

    I also need at least 1Gb of traffic a day, PHP and MySQL db.

    Any good suggestions?
    Can you actually give me a link to the package rather than telling me 'godaddy.com' or 'oneandone.co.uk' as I suspect they already offer such packages.

    As I mentioned in my original post.

    So, seen that they both look to be your sites, (they are the same sites), can you tell me what package would suit my needs?

    Are my sites, both are reselling hosting.
    Each one is a different company.
    Yourhosthere, I have not had much experience with the company behind it.
    Dawghost, I have had for some time, plenty of experience with the company.
    Most of my sites are hosted there.
    .htaccess is same on both.
    Going with dawghost would probably be better.
    The plan with 50gb transfer per month is close to what you want at 1gb a day.

    Hope this helps.

    The large account seems to be what I need, but again it does not say anything about the .haccess.
    In fact it does not even say if it has an MySQL database or PHP, (although I suspect it has one).

    These two definitely allow .htaccess rewrites and have PHP/mySQL with unlimited domains and databases:

    http://www.hostgator.com
    http://www.asmallorange.com

    I've been using ASO quite a bit but I recently setup a HostGator account and the shared server is much faster with them.
