Time to change hosts?
Perhaps it is time for change. Currently, this site is hosted with Screen Savers sponsor OLM.net, where I've been for years. Back then, it was the best deal for the money. And, over the years, I've had very few complaints. Often, I dont even bother worrying because the problems usually fix themselves in a few hours. (Email pop accounts not connecting, etc). However... they no longer are the best deal for the money.
Why not? Well, they're currently using GD 1.6.2 and I want GD 2.0 or better. I sent their techies an email to ask if/when they were thinking of upgrading. The answer I got back was less than grand, and it basically said "No plans to upgrade. If you want it compiled for you, then talk to our sales department."
Now, my other hosting company offers a better deal in every form except for one: phone support. Sometimes, when my site is having problems, I want to be able to reach out and touch someone. This other host doesnt offer that, but does offer "unlimited" bandwidth, "unlimited" storage, pop accounts, forwards, MySQL databases, PHP, etc. for less than $10 a month.
How much is this worth to me?
