This is one of the reasons I am on a dedicated server. It is so much easier to just not have to worry about it.

Nope; never had an issue with Hostgator; been years now. I do agree though, dedicated is the way to go if you can afford it. .-= Dennis Edell´s last blog ..Welcome Aboard Part 2! All The Info You’ve Been Waiting For… =-.

Interesting story Hesham. The hosting companies should be careful when they go about and change something. They should have notices about the changes up months before and even send instructions (or update their wiki or such) to help people prepare.

Some configurations and changes are needed, and often done to make things run better for everyone (not sure about this particular case), but good communication is the key. I’ve been happy with my host on this, and they’ve done a good job keeping the “backend” in order with regular updates – that haven’t broken anything

Quite frankly my first experince with a hosting company was with 1And1 they were brilliant but the problem was similar you could tell when these tech guys mess with something and i move to godaddy they have a boring control panel no problem after almost a year but i think they are all the same glad to know that you have the issue sorted out but a dedicated server is the answer but the finance omes in to play. .-= lawmacs´s last blog ..Write For Readers And Design For Bots =-.
