Hey, while everybody's here shootin' the shit, who do we like for webhosting these days? We've been with HostGator for years but lately their service is sucking hard. We're also discovering that if you want to talk to anyone other than the most munchkinish of chat flaks, you have to wait six days for an email.

Hostgator got bought out by EIG. I don't want to encourage my former employer, because they treat their workers like garbage, but google for non-eig hosts and you're almost guaranteed better service.

Thanks

My agency switched to https://asmallorange.com/ recently because of their price and extremely quick service. Their live chat game is rock solid.

I'm thinking about starting a blog and you're the third person to mention A Small Orange. I guess I should check them out.

If you're planning on using WordPress, they have the easiest WordPress installer I've met yet.

My boyfriend went trough this about a year ago. He was with hostgator and downtime has been aweful since they got bought out by eig. In the end, he went with hostswithlove and says support has been great and the price is pretty good. I don't know so much about these things but good luck finding hosting not owned by eig :(

If you want to be serious about security, BuzzBuzzNet.net is run by a friend who knows his shit inside and out. And it's cheap, too. And local. (To Seattle.)

He's also an award-winning beekeeper. Hence the name.
