It surely couldn't be because of their tech support if they can't take care of something like that for you.

I know of a few hosts who will take care of pretty much any request you can think of without ever having to hear "we don't know how to do that".

But I'm not here to promote hosts, I'm here to try and get down to the nitty gritty.

Remember folks, there are more variables to consider than just price when you're choosing a host. Expensive does not always mean awesome, cheap does not always mean shitty. Do your research, ask your friends and colleagues who they host with and why.
