The problem with hosts that come out of the woodwork when Prohosters has downtime is that they simply cannot offer what we are getting. I think the virtual accounts attract those of us running a score of free and avs sites, for the most part, and do very little tgp work (or keep our galleries on free hosts like I do).
These other hosts don't understand that we can make decent sales off a few thousands surfers a month but we need gobs of space, domains, static IP addresses, email accounts for each domain and reasonable prices for bandwidth overages.
Hosts that want to get my attention need to offer the following for less than 15 bucks per month:
* up to 50 static IPs right away, no monthly charge for additional IPs
* 500MB disk space
* 10 pop email accounts and a catchall for anything sent to other domains
* FTP 24/7, naturally
* Telnet, cgi, php, optional mysql
* Online realtime stats
And, most importantly, acting like a dick when a host has problems won't make me a customer.
Now, I haven't seen any other hosts that can meet these requirements. It's probably crazy to try. Who knows...
