That has been my experience with them in the past as well. HMS definitely seems to be better in this respect (although when my software customers go to them before me about any issues they are having, they often get some really wacky responses. It always depends on who you get when it comes to good tech support.) > The bottom line is that if you want or are gunna be cheap then you > will not be getting the "holy grail", you will simply be getting > "cheap hosting". Very true. I will say that I was in the same position and decided that I really need to go with a VPS for better reliability, and have been pretty happy with AHPHosting.net. They give $10/month off their plans for my customers (or using the coupon posted on this site) and while their have been some bumps recently, the guy that runs it works tirelessly to keep servers up and problems fixed. I've been very impressed with the service and options for the price. I host a handful of other sites for friends and family that don't have any full server access to the VPS and helps alleviate the extra cost. Viviotech.com is another option for real low-cost VPS hosting. Their Linux VPS with BlueDragon is pretty much the cheapest semi-dedicated option for CFML hosting you'll find. I had some problems when I tried them with downtime from power outages, but supposedly they have been getting up with some generators recently, so less of an issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299181 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
