Problem is, it's hard to find a local ISP with the same quality web page
hosting provided by iiNet with their default accounts.  In particular their
suid cgi and allowing you to use .htacess files is nice (or at least was
last time I was with them).  Too bad they're staffed by slack-jawed morons
now, but show me an ISP that isn't.  So anyway my solution is DingoBlue for
$25 a month dialup - reliability on par with iinet but better quotas, and
simonweb.com for hosting my web page.  For about $10 month ($4.95 US) I get
cgi, php and mysql.  So all up for $35 a month I'm getting a much superior
solution all-round and for $5 less than iinet's base account.  Only catch is
I've just signed up to simonweb.com yesterday so I don't know how reliable
they'll turn out to be and they're less accountable than a Perth ISP (for
all that's worth).  Still I've been impressed with them thus far.
