Hi, a friend and I are working on a new travel system which stores locations etc on an external mysql database, with scripts running under php5. Everything works fine but the host we're using at the moment is not so stable and some requests fail (a website we have with them goes offline now and then too, so thats why I'm assuming its a hosting problem).
If we're to charge for this system we don't want to take peoples L$ only for them to say the system is not working properly and spoiling their enjoyment of it.
So, my question is this: is there a reliable hosting provider who can handle lots of requests coming from and going to Second Life with minimal interruption to service? We know 100% uptime is not going to happen but would imagine there must be a more widely used host (such as the one which handles Hippovends large data transfer) which others have used and would recommend. We don't need blogs, websites or anything else, just mysql database and the ability to run our php scripts.
Suggestions on a host (and even better, an example of a system which currently uses them to back it up) would be wonderful. Thank you!
