thx for the tip , only I can't seem to find any poo in your reply.. what's up with that?
Not drunk at the moment, so I have decided to actually engage and try to offer advice.
I think its a bit like going to McDonalds, and buying a burger from the dollar menu. A bit shit, but it does the trick. Then someone pops up and says ' The serve Fillet Steak in this other place ' But it costs a fortune, so you dont go in...
But you cant live on McDonalds, and you cant afford the steak, so what do you do? You goto a 'middle ground' cafe, and get a hand made burger instead.
Hence why I recommended the plan I am on. (Without a reflink) Its not mojo, but its not shit either. So if you dont want the hassel of moving, have them upgrade you to the plan I use, cause its really good
Or dont of course - Plenty of cafes to choose from
Bullshit... I used both: Amerinoc and Hostgator. Hostgator is much better with the same plan... go to sleep!

Thats not true. Ive had an account with Lunarpages for years. I have never had 1 issue with it in probably 4-5 years and there support is great. They do not seem to mind what kind of account you have when it comes to customer support and service.
Not actually sure why its ok for people to think your service should suck if it costs less.
Most of these hosting companies built there business on shared hosting...

I agree, LunarPages has good, cheap plans and their service is top-notch. I have several accounts with them and have had them for years. Mission critical though I do not recommend them unless you don't have much traffic, since their shared servers still cannot handle much. For mission critical I've been using Rackspace Cloud servers...haven't let me down yet. But the cloud can be expensive...but well worth it. To each his own. ...btw the hostgator replies are making me seriously laugh. You guys can't be serious.
I've had an account at amerinoc for a lot of years. I've had some downtime and database issues recently as well. They moved me to a new server and everything has been good since then. I suggest you ask them to do that.
99.9% Uptime actually isn't that great, it still means 45 minutes of downtime if you calculate it over a month. Bandwidth and hardware cost money, but usually the profit margins are a bit higher on shared hosting than dedicated or VPS. Same goes for support, even an outsourced Indian or Filipino (did you know it's actually spelled with an 'F'?) will charge you over $1 per ticket just for a reply. Just get a plan that fits your needs, don't over exaggerate on resources or support if you don't need it is my advise.
There's nothing wrong with running your business from virtual/shared hosting. I have a large blog network that runs on several shared hosting accounts from 1 web hosting company and the uptime has been superb, the speed is fantastic, and I have support tickets answered within 10 to 20 minutes.
