Your requirements are rather simple, I agree. Where it may become
harder for a cheap hosting is the SSH and the SVN. SSH is something I
used when I has having my domain hosted at GoDaddy. I took the Deluxe
Hosting, which was a bit above US$120 per year. As I was not using it
very much, I cancelled all that, and went with something much cheaper,
rebel.com. I do not know about other hosting providers, but rebel.com
do not offer SSH, at least not for the hosting plan I have (probably
their cheapest). As the the cpanel, I know that rebel.com offers some
web-based control off the web functionalities and file management
(terrible.....) and so does GoDaddy, but I do not think this is what
you know as cpanel. But bnoth offer file control and editing as well
as options for the web hosting.
I *may* be there tonight, if my son's mountain cycling activity gets
cancelled due to the weather.

Dear OCLUG members:
There have been a number of postings over the years asking about
good places to get different
services. I have a similar issue now with domain renewal and web
hosting renewal coming up,
and possible a slightly different set of needs.
While the list provides answers of various types to such requests,
it would probably be useful
if I edited them and presented a summary, which I volunteer to do.
(See the oclug wiki for
a recent investigation of jpg captioning I did.)
Below is my set of needs. Comments and opinions welcomed.
See you at meetings, including tonight's at Algonquin P-216b.

Internet hosting
- have domain name (nashinfo.com)
- Need to renew in July. Currently with CADNS
- domain
- points domain to hosting
- Want hosting of some sort for limited services.
Currently with Beck Web Services (lasts until October, but probably simpler
to renew domain, domain pointing, and hosting all together)
- email (but I normally forward it automatically elsewhere)
- small file space (say a few GB)
- limited web pages (static)
- not a lot of traffic
- cpanel
Would like to add
- ssh
- svn
- possibly some other linux services when logged in
via ssh e.g., bash
- Do NOT want
- to have to manage email very much
- to have to do a lot of hardening of "site", i.e., want only to
turn on minimal setup and NOT have to carefully review a
system for things that might be open
