When your core market makes its hosting decisions based primarily on price alone you simply don't have the funds to pay all your bills, or bring in the ' big boy ' equipment, or many other things that the more expensive hosts have.
I remember the outage a few months ago, all the excuses as to why it happened and also the midnight move.
If this was in fact something that they knew about or had any control over ( other than paying their bills ) then notice would have been given to their clients. This is assuming that they were the quality ISP that every one hopes for, an ISP that really gives a crap if you are making money or not. As we can all see they either didn?t care enough to notify people, didn?t pay their bills again ( my guess ) or just couldn?t handle the networking issues that came as a result of any of the above.
No matter how they try to ' spin ' the story the simple fact is that if they were as stable ( financially or network wise ) as they should be none of these issues effecting their customers would exist. This is because they would easily be able to afford to keep the carriers running, the equipment up to date, and have provisions in place to pick up the slack when parts of their network fail that are beyond their control.
We are not the cheapest place on the block, and I am the first to tell everyone that, but our network stays up, our clients stay online, and should any part of the network fail there are resources in place to ensure little to no down time for anyone. This applies to even the most severe cases. If you want more information on how to choose a host check this out: http://www.primeinternet.com/network.html
