The best host in the whole damn world as far as I am concerned is in my signature down there.......
Vector Hosting..... wow........ he hosts all my sites and I have never had a bit of trouble with him..... and he has some pretty cool little benefots that you can take advantage of as well...... some really cool and otherwise very expensive scripts, with Vector you can pay monthly on them and not have to shell out that kind of cash right up front........
All my sites are faster than they have ever been, and downtime? I don't think the guy believes in downtime at all... LOL
I can't say enough about their tech support either......... the man never sleeps. I have gone to them with some pretty wild questions and always get an answer within literally minutes of asking it.
It's not the cheapest in the land, but you get what you pay for. While I don't know all the techie mumbo-jumbo....... I do know I have never spent anytime trying to find him to get anything fixed, it's never been down to fix it......
http://www.vector-force.com tell him Tam sent you babe.... he's awesome.
