I've set most of my clients up on Bluehost and have recommended them to many. I generally have been satisfied as you have. I was pretty unimpressed last night however when they took their entire data center offline for three hours (no back up generators, nothing) during a _scheduled_ power repair with the power company. Where was the notification? A scheduled outage should be announced. My only other complaint is that you don't have an option of specifying a sub-folder as webroot and sub domains have to be in subfolders of your primary domain. Sorry I don't have any suggestions; I've never used anyone else. _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
