My host sucks... Need advice · **Released**: 05-17-2006

we opened a board less than a month ago, and things were great until last week when our host told us that we needed to upgrade servers. (450 members) We decided to go with a semi-dedicated server package. Since then, the board has gone down 4 times, all info posted from sunday at 12:30 pm to monday at 6:15 pm was lost, and the board has been down(hardware problems) since yesterday at 5:00pm. They proclaim that they changed everything in the server but the hard drive. I know this crap does not take that long. I am obviously changing host companies, so I need suggestions, and advice on how to deal with the current company. in addition, I need to know the steps that need to be taken to move the board to a new host.

Thanks In advance,
Tim

Sounds like something dreamhost.com would do.

Heh, we had to move www.club3g.com OFF of ASO to PowerVPS because ASO didn't have the resources at the time to host us on a box that didn't crash and burn 5 times a day.

ever throught about hosting your self? I had over 12,000 members on one of my sites, and found it was cheapter just to setup one of my boxs in my studio and host my own site, vs going remote dedicated.

I had the same problem. I switched to JaguarPC.com's VPS. No problems whatsoever (Other than 1 downtime which was a datacenter problem), and super fast.
