Am moving to another host who supposedly has load balancing technology so hopefully these issues will not recur....

There were some rough spots that the new owners had to overcome as a lot of the equipment that the old edatarack had was overloaded - but the customer service got a lot better after the company was sold.

Though not as shady as what you're describing here, I had an equally poor experience with StartLogic.com. They should be added to this list, it's not worth saving a couple of bucks if the product is shit. Anyways, thanks for the list. Good to know. -Brad www.ClashOfCulture.com Impressive sleuthing.
