Requirements vs desires
I'd been in the process of setting up the website of a singer/songwriter I know, so I need streaming audio at least and a relatively high amount of bandwidth so fans won't be cut off in the middle of checking out the site. Large file sizes is a must. Plus she wants a message board/chat room so we'll need either CGI,ASP, or PHP.
I also run a Buffy fan site, so that needs to be able to handle a high volume of traffic. I hadnt even had the chance to go live with the host I have now, because my sites are down about 40 percent of the time.
Cost: anything under 30 bucks for either site. Cheaper id prefer, but I know you get what you pay for. Hosts with Paypal and checks acceptance are a plus.
Location: I'd prefer a host in the south USA, where Im located, so when I go on a driveabout I can go check them out.
Most importantly, I need a host who has better customer service than what Im getting now.
I dont know if I'll be able to get my domains back. I still cant get the guy to transfer them to me. I've emailed him and email him and so far nothing. Since its a CH host, can I complain to them? Would it do a bit of difference?
