Hosting Advice
I'm currently hosting my site with AIT which I've become extremely unhappy with. Their quality of service has severely degraded over the last couple of months ever since they decided to move my site "on to a more stable server platform". When they did, they put my site on a server that was not configured with PHP which killed my forums and database. After complaining to them, they went and installed PHP3 as a "temporary fix". Needless to say, since my forums and database are configured for PHP4, that didn't help.
The site is down off and on for long stretches of time at least two three times per week and the mySQL database shuts down each time and I have to telnet into the server to manually restart it. Yesterday, they decided to perform "unscheduled maintenance" which shut my site down for three hours. When it did finally come back up, the database was down and I had no telnet access. I placed several trouble tickets/phone calls, etc., and received answers back like "well, we don't know why you don't have telnet access....did you apply for it?" and "we don't know why your site is not up and running, it's the only one on the server that isn't."
To make a long story short, I'm fed up with them and need to find another hosting provider ASAP. One of the reasons why I've stayed with them this long is because they offer 155MB of disk space and 30GB of data transfer for $18.95/month which no other hosting provider I've looked at can provide for the same price.
Is there a web site that I can go to that compare/rates hosting providers?
