Well we recently switched hosts to Host Gator from Net Firmsbecause to be honest even though NetFirms is really affordable at only $10 a year they’re just not reliable. The uptime is actually pretty good, but their MySQL really really sucks. I mean if your trying to run a blog, or anything that relies heavily on MySQL it just won’t work. Pages would sometimes take 20sec.+ to load and frequently would totally timeout. DNS transfered over yesterday so I’ve been working on the new server from HostGator now for maybe 18 hours or so. And so far I must say I’m very happy. The page load times are very quick, and I haven’t had a single hiccup yet.

We’ve still got some domains to move over from Net Firms but I think we’re going to be much happier with our hosting from here on out.

Updates to come later.
