I have been really happy using hostony.com as my domain host. whenever i have had any problems with the server, the tech support has been right on top of it.

the one category that i think hostony falls short on is that amount of scripts that they have ready for installation. i use jatol.com as a host with another group i work for, and they have a huge list of programs that can be quickly installed. take a look at this page:

http://www.jatol.com/hostvirt.htm#auto
these are the scripts they they have ready to be installed onto your domain. hostony has php-nuke, invision, and a couple others. can we get some more? particulary, have some different options for CMS would be great.

a lot of them are free i think, so it shouldn't take too much of a financial committment from hostony. what do you think?

We'll take account of you opinion.
Thanks for the manifestation of the wish to make better our services.

would like to know .. there is no pre-install script for win hosting ? CPM ? webmail ? neither one ?

No, there is no.
Windows hosting differs from linux...
