I had actually sent Valve a suggestions a couple of years ago that they tie the server favorites to the server ID, as opposed to the server's IP address, so as to allow server operators to upgrade/move their servers without losing all the regulars we had worked so hard to build. At the time, they had replied that it was a good idea and they would see about adding that to the client/engine, but nothing ever came of it so I guess it was dismissed as unimportant.
I agree that it absolutely sucks to have to start again from square one every time we want to change a server's IP address and/or favorites get deleted for some reason. I would love it if they would make our server more "portable" and not tied to an IP address. There are a ton of great deals on new (more powerful) servers popping up, but if your current host isn't competitive, your forced to either stick with what you've got, or move to a new host and start back at square one.
