Changing web hosts is a drag.

Especially when you want dynamic content hosting. Setting up MySQL databases, webmail, blogs, forums and wikis isn’t a simple thing… no matter a control panel vendor says. I’ve spent more time with Tech support in the last couple of days than I ever have. But then before all I needed was simple HTML hosting.

To be fair, the Tech Support has been great. I can chat with them and usually everything gets taken care of in about 15 minutes to half an hour.

Word to the wise: switch hosts before your previous contract expires. Give yourself a lot of overlap time and don’t change the DNS until all the kinks are ironed out.
