[nflug] Dedicated hosting companies to avoid

[eric]

oh yes... surpasshosting based in FL managed in India I think, has been 
trouble for me every once in a while when they do upgrades ...recently I 
almost left them but because I have so many things configured and am 
highly dependent on many php apps that configure automagically through 
fantastico, I had to stay... I would love to have a local site as well 
with cpanel and fantastico so I could get up and running without that 
much configuration that I don't have time for right now.  Surpasshosting 
took an entire month to get my smtp working correctly after they did an 
upgrade ...it was extremely irritating esp since the blackberry was 
connected to emails generated off the site for ticket problem/requests
they offered no refund.. just a simple we are your God approach "you are 
now up and running "


long winded and to the point ...I'm looking too
