Perhaps GoGrid? (along the cloud hosting theme)

LOL,

I'm mostly set up now with goDaddy and it was fairly seamless, My site didn't even have any down time.  I still need to get those few client sites moved over, but that'll just be something simple in my free time.  THe trick with those is though that 2 of them control their own domain names and we'll need to switch the dns address (and I'm guess they have no clue how to do that)

I think I'll give it a shot for a few months and see what happens. If it sucks, maybe I'll try something better -- but for now I just wanted something easy, quick and cheaper then renewing at jumpline for $240.

Notice the dates knuck, there's a 2 year difference. I had 1and1 when they first started up, and I wasn't impressed. Then last year after axon kept suggesting them I went back and was very happy, have been ever since.

Btw micah if u plan to use databases at all (even for testing) get off godaddy and get a refund. I'm telling you that you should really go somewhere else. There will be problems, I will bet money on it.

I won't even take on clients that have godaddy unless they agree to switch to another host. Waste of my time.

Why?  I have asked Ober if I should switch, but his advice thus far has been not to.  And considering that I haven't had any problems with GD and have had great luck with their technical service I haven't pushed the issue.

already set up and running a database... no problems yet.  What kind of issues should I begin to expect?

Ugh where to start. Godaddy doesn't believe in standards or acceptable policy. They believe in the everything is bad and should be disabled, and nothing should work as expected. Scripts or files will run incorrectly or not at all, and hours of debugging and stress comes down to an issue with the host that should never be an issue. At this time you contact godaddy and they tell you to fuck off and give you some bs reason why they can't change their screwed up settings.

I retrack my suggestion for 1and1 after today. Long story short they overcharged me back in november. They offered me a full credit, and dint issue it, account got suspended around thanksgiving. So i call up soon as they come back from the holiday, and i call. They apologize, turn the server back on, and offer the credit plus three months free (DEC-FEB) to apologize.

So i havent been on my domains or used the account, i just now got a computer back. When i couldnt access ftp, i tried my admin panel, and it said invalid. So i emailed customer service. Turns out they never issued any of the credits, ever. They shut the server back off, released it (deleting my files, i have no backups as i had no computer), and set all my domains to expire.

Needless to say many emails and phone calls have done no good. They said im fucked on the files and i can transfer my domains if i pay the 9/ea at my register (12 domains....ugh) AND they wont give me the access i need to get the transfer auth codes!!!

WTF am i going to do? God DAMMIT. They want $70 for the old account and the setup costs for a new one. im broke as fuck and i dont have any online methods of payment. Fucking annoying man i tell you.

I do my domain names with 1and1 and it's been fine so far (don't host anything with them, just DNS). My hosting is now done with HostGator and so far I haven't had any problems. It's good enough for my personal website. At the company we lease a half rack locally but we're looking into the Amazon hosting.
