Valueweb allows ftp access only,
no telnet access but that can be hacked using a special page with CGI access that executes commands and relays the results through the webpage. Service is normal, you can ask for help but have to wait for a callback, as last I recall..
I considered them as a scuky webhoster as they made it tough for me to transfer my host to another company. So they are very good about bringing new customers on but they would rather you not leave. However they won't hold your website for ransom like Hostrocket customers say.
I switched from this over to www.phpwebhosting.com . And have been with them for a couple of years. I'm currently looking for a good server site for my realvideo files, that's why I'm up here.. I almost got on with "hostrocket", thankgod for this site, I didn't..
But I would not go back to valueweb ever, they are too paranoid someone is going to hack their servers. Also they prefer Frontpage users to Unix account users.. Last I was with them they didn't really support PHP, only Perl really.
