Okay, see my problem is this...

I currently am using a tera-byte virtual account; but for a few reasons the plans at places like Worldzone and Valuablehost are more appealing...

I want to change host... but I have one problem...

I have this 'fear' that because these are smaller hosts and such; they have a better chance of going out of business, or not having enough clients to make enough money or whatever... and that with a place as big as tera-bte; something like that would never happen.

I mean; i just don't want to be having to move my site around more often that I need to.

Are my fears completely baseless?

I think your fears are reasonable...a lot of hosts won't make it because they are small and do not have the capitol to keep going...but these are a very small few. I think that if you are about to change hosts that you SHOULD consider these smaller hosts. You might find that you get way better support from them and that they wil go out of their way to help you. We are small, but growing by leaps and bounds... Adding our second server this week. This is the sign of GROWTH!

Even Tera-Byte started out small...they didnt come on the scene with 10,000 customers!

Try the smaller hosts...you may be pleasantly surprised!

You can go with small companies. But look for options like "unlimited" such as 9kd.net. If the company you see is giving too much for a price watch out!
