(Spam me) How much do you have to spend to get a reliable host?

I've got a project that is due to go live this month on a virtual account, because it is not going to push more than 10 gigs a month. The site is very database-heavy, but that's it. I don't see why I'd have to have it on a dedicated server.

The thing is, this site must not go down. I've had various problems with my virtual account, and something happens to the site at least once a week... Either database fucks up, someone else on the server gets a ton of traffic and everything goes down, or recently, all my domains disappear for no apparant reason.

When I call tech support, I'm not taken very seriously... Hell, for $25 a month, I wouldn't take myself seriously either.

So my question is, how much do I have to spend to get someone on the phone who will listen to me. I'm considering getting another unmanaged dedicated for this site, which I still think is overkill given its requirements. I've been a sysadmin for 6 years, at least this way nothing will happen to the box without my knowing

talk to the guys over at candid hosting they have a couple good virtual plans, and i'm sure if you email them they can give you a smaller plan if you need.

Yes, you are. So why aren't you talking to me about this issue?

We can work something out. I already have something in mind. It's going to cost you a little more than $25 monthly, but I think you already decided yourself that a $25 plan just isn't going to cut it.

Drop me a line when you're around. Let's solve your problems...

Sly_RJ and Phatservers rock my world.

Been hosting with them for 8 months now and I can't complain about anything. The price is very low and the service/support is beyond words.

I actually sorted this particular issue out with someone else instead, but I'll still be getting that server from you ASAP, just gotta talk to Brad.
