Mip Design Themes are running on new hard driveTue, Oct 27, 2009 in Announcements
Frustration, frustration, frustration. These are the feelings I was overwhelmed by in last couple of months. Reason? My hosting provider that doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned here. Slow, slower, down could be their motto for success, or not.
Nail in the coffin
The final stroke was this morning when I couldn’t log into my Wordpress account for 3 hours. That was it, time to leave and find better luck.
The search for Holy Host
Well, I reviewed a couple hosting companies that satisfied my humble needs and decided to take a leap. After long and painful search (approx. 45 minutes), I decided and chose “Just Host“. Why? No special reason. They are always in top 5 ratings for what I needed, they have good features and the final word was payment via PayPal.
Installation
Complete surprise. I couldn’t believe. I transferred my primary domain and 8 sub-domains, installed 9 Wordpress sites, uploaded all the files and imported everything via phpMyAdmin in just 2 hours.
Conclusion
For now, I’m pretty satisfied. Everything works like a charm and even support was quick and efficient. I’ll test it more in days to come to see if it’s good enough to transfer my other domains here.

I’m glad you were able to find a new host. I have no problem accessing your site now, and it’s pretty quick as well. It’s probably been 15+ years since I was not on my own dedicated servers, but I can definitely remember the days when I had the problems you were talking about. I hope they stay stable for you and wish you the best of luck.
