Sadly, what I've observed over the years is that many of the web hosts with poor customer service can easily close up shop and re-open under another name with nobody the wiser. And I agree wholeheartedly with Judie about how much it counts for these organizations to keep us posted. When I first started using Hosted MS Exchange I was with Mailstreet. They were a smallish hosting company specializing in personal attention. Like most of the things I buy, I found them online via a forum posting Then Mailstreet gets acquired. Suddenly their focus shifts to selling to bigger companies and offering all sorts of doo-dads to get you to buy in addition to Exchange. The support techs became increasingly more difficult to reach. Then they had a server crash. After two days with no update and no email -- I switched hosts. I think in some instances, these guys keep quiet because they figure to publicize it looks worse (I secretly suspect that RIM does this with their myriad of Blackberry outages that you only read about when some web site notices).

I CAN imagine how much pain Judie must have been going through. I only thank that the fact that everything I have built for the company I work for resides on OUR servers (8) and WE do REDUNDANT backups. Even with all that, there is the trust in operating systems, hardware and in my case, simple human error. I have been in similar, just not as daunting and critical situations, and believe me, its either the frustration of either relying on someone/something else or kicking yourself in the arse for not doing something you thought you were (or were not) doing. My trust in other hosts just as simple as what Microsoft offers leaves me little to be desired in becoming a full-fledged, world- renowned web site that posts cool information and titillating side-bits that peak our interests...aka, GD (Gear Diary). It's been a roller-coaster ride of a story and am relinquishing/looking forward to? part two. Perseverance pays off and in the end, you learn something new...hopefully not to forget it tomorrow. Kudos to Judie and Ewdison.

He said, and I quote, "All Virtuozzo, WHM/cPanel systems have tools in place for you to backup your data. It's our fault if you don't use them." I believe he meant to include the word "not" in that last sentence. Go hammer him! Speaking of the small print on page 60, that dimwit, Shazam, made a major typo on the Hostican bulletin board.
