Wow if I could lose $30,000 in 48 hours, I don't think I would need to worry about finding a cheap host..

I'm trying to get a business going with very little cash on hand, and the point where I start getting income is a few months away. I'm spending all my time dealing with host issues when I need to be building the site!

At least these hosts have 30-day money back guarantees, and I will be calling their bluff, so to speak. Did I mention how this previous one had a 99.5% uptime guarantee, and after being down 20 hours they refused to honor it? They said that since they were only down for North America, they would honor half of the guarantee. I do wish I could drop their names.

Nothing is more annoying than the one I'm on now though, where you ask a very detailed specific question about their mySql setup, and the "tech" pastes their canned response for beginners. "mysql is a database program"
I have to say though, he responded in 30 minutes on a saturday night. Now that's fast service.
