Anyone knows any fast/stable web hosting which is affordable and accepts payment thru Western Union?

Western Union is very fast. After half an hour you can receive your money at a Western Union desk.

[EDIT]
Or did you mean you want to know how fast the webspace is you pay through Western Union? I think it's not possible to say that, because it's providerdependent, not money-transfer dependent.

Nope.

But if you get some windows VPS you can or even on linux flavor (if you compile in linux). You can do whatever you want (just need to be legal) on your VPS.

Ricardo,

Are you restricted to just CGI-BIN, or can you have code continuously running?

I never test it, but as fas as i understand you can do whatever you want, install whatever you want to, etc. Just limited by legal stuff and your usage limits (i have 2 CPanel VPS with different OS, both linux flavor).

In fact im not sure if they offer windows VPS, maybe you better contact them.

But on my own limited experience (6 months with 2 VPS) everything works fine with this guys. I dont know them and dont have any other reference but my own experience as their customer. Ofcourse i don't get any $$ comission for recommending them ;)

Ricardo,

Thanks for your advice.

The info has been very helpful. I think I'll have to take the plunge and risk a few euros to see if I can do what I want to do.

I'm on Ubuntu now, so Windows isn't an issue.
