I’ve been with ZiggyHost for over a year now and every now and again I end up having server trouble with them. I am unable to contact them - why? Because they’re running their main site off the same servers that are causing me a headache. You may read - “servers are down” from that last statement. I’m seriously thinking this time is it. I love Ziggyhost - for the most part because they’re my cheap way to get plenty of sites online and have minimal hassle.
But I have to say - I’m not prepared for this last meltdown. I’ve not backed anything up recently. So if I give them the boot now - I’ve lost a lot of work. At the same time I’ve currently lost everything because I can’t log into my account - FTP is down, my sites are down
I’m FRUSTRATED.
So… on that note - if they’re not up today (they’ve been down since yesterday - as best I can tell) then I am looking elsewhere for my hosting. I can’t deal with this sort of downtime. My stats are sucking in the money world… a couple hours down - I can understand from time to time, but days worth of downtime is terrible!
So any recommendations?
I’m looking for unlimited websites allowed on the account - and I’m looking for something different than HostGator (who I love and am currently running some sites with). I am also looking for monthly hosting … maybe on the cheaper end of things - but I definitely am looking for reliable (and would pay more for it).
Anyhoo… suggestions for a new host?

I don’t know how much you are paying for now, but have you thought about getting a VPS or even a dedicated server?

Hey Empress.
I’ve been with Frozen Webhost for a good few years now and the owner (Steve) has been great. Most of the time he’s on MSN available to answer to your every need and can always help you. My blog generally has a good uptime and loads pretty quick too.
Email me, and I’ll put you in touch with him. It costs $100 for the year for Reseller Hosting. Pretty amazing price IMO.

If you know how to run a basic server then you might want to consider getting a virtual machine - especially if you’ve got lots of sites. Bytemark are good, although they are based in the UK so may not be the best choice for you.

Thanks everyone who commented here - I’m going to check into everything you’ve mentioned. Ziggyhost is down AGAIN in as many days - and I’m fed up.
I’ll keep you posted - thanks!
