I've been having a lot of problems with my web hosting company in the last three months and it appears to be getting worse. Inconsistent and slow loading times and more frequently the site is down when it should be up. Something is up.
I need to start looking for another hosting company.
First the tech support tried to tell me I have a large site and I was sharing a server. Well, most of the space are ICC profles which are not "loaded" only served to download on a request. The core site outside of the profile files is actually less than 1 Gb. The first tech then tries to sell me on Sitelock. I asked how would that solve the problem?..he didn't know. Then I was told it was because I was on a shared server. ..I needed a dedicated server. Huh...my tiny little site. Then they convinced me that my site was "large" with a lot of files. Me, created a yuuge website? Did not but it. The things is hardly any changes were made over the last while and things just seem to be getting worse.
Someone called and as I try leading them to a page, it would not load. I got on the PC and same issue, different geographical location. Then I called Tech support...all the while same issue. Then about 45 minutes later, it cleared up by itself. Then they blamed my code....
So any ideas on what to look for in a webhost?

) you might post up a guidance thread on "how to set up or build your own website"
