Changing hosts frequently is really a pain as it is always difficult to transport complex sites from one host to another, and it almost always involves downtime. The task of moving from one hosting company to another can almost be as difficult as moving homes, plus it is expensive and time intensive.

I understand the hosting problems, as i have experienced this many times and at last i received one which is just perfect to me.
I just loved your line which said
“The moral of the story is that good hosting is hard to come by. Just because a host is great for someone else, doesnâ€™t mean that it will be great for you too. The opposite is also true, just because a lot of people say itâ€™s no good, doesnâ€™t mean itâ€™s true.”

I understand your pain. I went through a similar experience a while back and its really no fun moving an established site no matter what the underlying technology involved.

As far as the open source idea. That could really be great for you.I’ve been involved with some open source products that one would think would have earned a lot of money if there were sold,but instead earned a lot more by going the open source route. You won’t get it on the front end, but there is money ot be made on the backend with open source products. Of course the license you choose makes all the difference. I perfer a BSD as it allows other people to monetize the code, which helps grow the community. A large community is the most important thing when earning from the backend.

Don’t hold back naming names. If you had a bad experience its fine just to tell it like it is.

I am sorry for you… but seriously, I don’t understand why you had a shared hosting when you could use your private server…

Greetings!

Sounds not like a dream, but a nightmare host. Nice pic, ha ha.

What a royal p.i.t.a! Hosting issues are never fun but when you have to switch because of an awful hosting company moving databases is the worst!
