There appears to be quite a number of unscrupulous hosts. A friend of mine was dumped 3 times by hosts within 2 weeks without notice due large traffic influxes. All took their annual fee upfront and wouldn't return the fees. I'm being forced to find a new host for the very same reason, as a recent post came within 1% of crashing my host's server, so they took the post down rather than dumping me, and have given me advance notice to find a new host. My current host recommended BlueHost, but I'm glad I didn't follow his lead after hearing Vlad's comment. My friend recommended Media Temple, stating that he has friends that have survived the Digg effect without issues or notice to dump them, so that's who I'm currently in the process of switching over to. He also recommended Hurricane Electric a he.net but said they're unix and advanced so you have to know your stuff and they offer little support. So sorry to hear about your woes.

I've got notoriously bad luck, so you're situation will happen to me within the first week, probably.

I was looking at them the other day. I have been trying to add another website to the same hosting account I'm assuming thats what shared hosting is? Do you know how to add a completley seperate website to the same hosting account? How do you like HostGator? I was looking at them the other day.

I do have a web hosting plan with BlueHost myself, but have seen the CPU message a few times. I am not two careful about plugins I use on my blog, so maybe PHP processes overload things a bit. It actually made me think to go "Blogger", but I ma so used to WordPress now that I would hate use blogger again. Sorry to her about your troubles. Did you get dedicated hosting with HostGator? Would you mind offering your opinion at http://www.web-hostingreview.com/host-gator/ ? Feel free to review LunarPages as well. Tricia,

Good to hear that you are happy with HostGator though. Yes I think tech support at a lot of web hosting companies isn’t all that useful if you have a real problem.

Don't expect tech support to help much if you have a very technical issue, as they are pretty much scripted, provide you a link to their knowledgebase, and that's about it. Other than that, downtime has been minimal. Good luck. I’ve been using HostGator for quite some time with good results.
