    Randy, when you posted a day or two ago and mentioned how much you were paying annually I thought it was a little high. When I have clients who need domain registration or renewal I always use 1and1.com -- they've got the lowest price out there and don't use sleazy advertising like the industry leader.

    I think the best hosting out there by far is at mediatemple.net/webhosting/gs/ -- it's not inexpensive, but it's high quality and can easily stand up to being dugg. Last year around christmas they released a special grid server package with half the storage and bandwith for about half the price. If they do the same thing this year, I'll probably sign myself up and check it out.

    Let me know what you think of your new host, there's a lot of competition out there and if you don't like them I'm more than willing to help you find someone else.

    Thanks Matt. Last night was pretty scary for a few hours but bluehost's customer service was fantastic. It was cheaper and has unlimited space and bandwidth. HOWEVER, I totally forgot about Media Temple. If I need to move I will definitely seek your help :).

    I can relate. I'm still with unnamed host, but I've been disappointed with the downtime and slow customer service.

    I wrote a personal email to our friend, in response to one they had sent this morning, listing out what I hope was constructive feedback.
