[QUOTE="Ghostshadow, post: 492536, member: 9575"] I know there are many topics about this, but there isn't really any up-to-date posts about webhosts. I'm looking for a new host because I'm pretty fed up with my current host. I keep getting jerked around and I don't get told when there is an update of any kind, so my data base will mess up or something that was coded for PHP 4 was running fine and then they upgrade to PHP5 with no warnings at all, and a bunch of stuff is broken, so I have to go and re-code a crap load of stuff. On top of not being notified about server software changes I don't get notified that there is going to be downtime, which it's down ALL THE TIME, on the weekends it's usually down or running terribly. Throughout the week the server is down at least once a day or once every 2 days. They recently did an expansion in hardware, and added new packages, we're supposed to be given the new upgrades in storage and bandwidth, guess what! They didn't tell me when they updated, I found out a couple days later that they DOWNGRADED my account! While I was still paying for the higher package, and so I had them switch it to the new upgrades they said at no charge, that was a few months ago. Now they are trying to charge me for the "upgrade" after they downgraded me on purpose. They have suspended my account since I didn't pay this week. It was payment time, and I didn't pay it because I'm not happy with the service and I'm going to request a refund from the last quarter of pure [b]H E L L[/b] I'm looking for a new webhost that is reliable, and informative. I was thinking about dreamhost, but I'm not sure. I'd like some good suggestions. I would like to be able to pay Quarterly if at all possible. Does anyone know if any companies have any deals for switching to them? Like some kind of a promotion, or discount. Any migration options? I have a pretty decent database set up with lots of stuff and I'm afraid it's going to be messed up bigtime if I import it to someplace else. The current hosting company I am / was with is : Vizaweb (yeah don't tell me) I would suggest not going with them, my experience has been hectic. I've been with them for about 3 years, and the first year was decent, but they have totally diminished in quality. [/QUOTE]
