Hi all - I run www.acuraworld.com and our current host has really been pissing me off lately. We're on a semi-dedicated server with about 10,000,000 hits a month, using 50G of data transfer per month, VB database ~ 500M. I'm looking for a new host, needless to say.
I've found two that are affordable that seem to be good:
I'm currently with www.www-hosting.net and I've been VERY patient with them for the past year, moving from one server to the next only to see them fill it with other customers exceeding their own posted limit of 30 per semi-dedicated server. Their customer support is good once you get someone to respond to a TT (12 hours or more sometimes), but is abysmal because the owner is out of alaska so he's 5 hours behind. If you live on the east coast, this sucks because at 9am when your site is down, you may have to wait 5 hours to get it back.
As of late, the straw that broke this camel's back was that they did maintenance AT 3:00PM EST!!!! They re-arranged their cabinets DURING A WEEKDAY AT 3:00PM!!!!!! My peak time is 1pm-5pm EST so that didn't sit very well with me.
Thanks in advance,
Schuyler
