(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 :mad:

Phatservers. Problem solved.

Actually, good point... I'm already getting a dedicated with them for my adult stuff.

unfortunately ISPrime has stopped taking virtual accounts. But let me tell you, these guys go out of their way for any request

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.

Try Dreamhost , speak with them.

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

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 Have had Webair virtual account for almoust a year now and i've been very pleased to them and their support. I recommend them :thumbsup

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.
