A few weeks go Telus started all the standard web ports for most of it’s clients that has brought my 8 year web hosting to and end for several sites. And strangely, completely independently, I found Host Gator as well. So far I’m happy with their service. Especially since I’m hosting ALL of my websites including 3 I do for charity for about $10/month and the entire transfer has been exceptionally smooth. I’ve used Live Chat to solve all my requests like fixing webroot, getting ssh access. I have found a few things here and there that I suspiciously think are done to get naive users to pay the $25 installation fees. One that stands out, if you use quickconfig php.ini setup it puts double quotes around the default_mimetype. “text/html” when none are needed. And it compounds the problem each time you remove them and hit save. After a few tries it looked like this “”"text/html”"”. And they were zero help on this issue, which may have been by design. After that I edited the php.ini by hand and things worked perfectly. All aside unlimited disk storage + unlimited bandwidth for all my personal websites was just too good to pass up.

We moved to hostgator as well and have been very happy with them so far.

It seems to load faster for me too. I think one of the main reasons I’m sticking with netfirms is because I’m too lazy to swap over my 2 websites.
