Host recommendations.
I have put up with a terrible host service for years because of company politics. My boss is friends with the chap who provides (resells) what little service we get from our host service provider. I won't mention the company that does the actual hosting as they would probably be a lot better if we were actually their customer directly.
Following the latest failure, I think the boss might listen this time round. I need to pick a new host for the MySQL backed, PHP scripted e-commerce web site I run. Can the wise readers of El Reg share their experiences? I would like to know what other people think of the hosting services they have used or are using. No unconditional slagging off please, I'd like to know what was good and what was not and how recent these experiences are.
