Webhosts....

Hey,

Badddddd weekend this weekend.

My host hasn't been paying my server bills (I pay them every month and they resell the server for a datacentre, so they have to pay the bill at the DC).

I got a payment request on Friday from the host and that night the server was offline.
I emailed the datacentre to get a reboot and they told me there was a bill of around $380 on the server.

Obviously I'm really not happy but I'm not going to pay the $380 after already paying for the server every month.

I moved to a new host and just went with a reseller account this time, there was no need for the dedicated and the reseller will save me a bit of money - I was paying $100/month for the dedicated but the reseller is only $35/month.

I went with Http://www.a2b2.com - They are a sponsor on Http://www.WebmasterForums.net (One of my sites) and I have known the company owner for a good bit so I am sure they are a good choice.

I'm getting the account setup now but I have to wait for the DNS to propagate and change all my DNS - I'm crossing my fingers that there wont be any problems with restoring the backups.

I was doing daily backups to a backup server through cPanel, the WHM restore should restore them without any problems - * FINGERS CROSSED *
