Get a dedicated server. You can find Managed dedicated servers from reputable companies like Server Intellect and host your sites and development sites. Once your site grows to large you will have to move to a different host or plan. I mean how many horror stories have you heard from larger sites that were shut down because they were hogging all the resources on one server.

At the time of this writing, my site along with several of my clients sites are all down for some reason. My advice? Stay off the Grid Server.

I was using IX Web Hosting's professional package. Man was that a nightmare. Now we use (MT) exclusively and it's mandatory for any client site we design (if they don't host their own stuff) that it's hosted there. I've had 0 issues since then. And if there was a problem, then friendly and competent team would get it resolved in a jiffy. Good move Bitt. Yep, I know the feeling. I was using IX Web Hosting’s professional package.

I was with GoDaddy.com for about a week. I had a simple web app on there and found that I had to manually enter all my data into the database that I had accumulated over time. I couldn't execute my own statements through their console, nor remotely connect to my instance. After many site crashes similar to yours, I pulled up roots and decided to be a little brave and host it myself out of my apartment. What's really goofy is that despite all the visitors I get, my uptime and availability is much, much greater than what they offered. I know what you mean. I was with GoDaddy.com for about a week.

I've been using hostrocket for several years now.... last year was a REALLY bad year but it seems to be picking up again now. I'm seriously considering getting a new host when my contact expires depending on how they do in the next year. It sucks because they were really awesome when i had first started using them for my clients pages like.... 3 or 4 years ago? And recently there was some sort of disaster with their phone services or something like that which ended up causing their host services to go downhill a bit. It seems they've recovered since my response tickets are now being answered within 3 hours as opposed to 24. They have good customer service. I just wish my downtime wasn't so rough with them.

I have a client that has been using a company called 1host for several years. It's a nightmare doing development for him because I always (and this has been over these several years) have FTP issues with them. Using Dreamweaver or FireFTP I get connection losses all the time. Tracert shows no packet losses either and their tech support has no clue. *sigh* Yeah, hosts are really hit or miss. I have a client that has been using a company called 1host for several years.

For years I have never understood that, alot of them prominently display "Powered by MT" even without an affiliate id. Its like design sites are synonymous with MT.
