Techie advice please
Lorry, GilliC, others in the know.
I've had it up to here (points way above her head) with my current webhosting company. They've changed settings on me and I can't update my blog anymore. Their helpdesk is virtually unavailable too.
So I'm looking for a good new webhost. I have 2K/30K a month now and pay 30 euro's a year. I'd be okay with paying a little more, but not 10 times as much, which is what the best rated ones will ask me, at least. A virtual server is fine. I just need one that has good average uptime and has GREAT customer service. (As in they respond to mail and have a phonenumber).
Any advice. I really don't care if it's in NL, after all, I'm assuming they all accept paypal or credit cards.
I'll ask FH as well, but I know he'll feel bad and will offer to host it on his server and I don't want that because we really don't have the room/speed here to do that and I'd feel weird about him pushing it in between his work stuff.
So any advice??

Re: Techie advice please
I've been using Dreamhost for 6 years now, and I've been very happy with them, but I just use space on a shared server, which costs around $100/year. They have virtual servers if you need the dedicated system resources to guarantee performance, but it starts at $15/month extra. I just have my blog and photo galleries, so I don't do any time-critical processing. As for uptime, it's definitely at a professional level. I don't know if it's completely 100%, because my site definitely doesn't get enough traffic that I'd notice a 10-minute drop if the server failed at some point. I'm sure their guaranteed uptime policy is on their site somewhere.
I actually hosted our high school reunion website on my existing shared network space and just registered a second domain name, and no one reported having any problems with the site at all (aside from a few coding mistakes on my part)!
If you're interested in trying it out, my referral promo code (GILLIC50) will discount $50 off the first year.
Thanks ladies!
If I go with them, I'll definitely use the code. 50 dollars off is awesome.
I just tried sending them an e-mail through their form and there seems to be something wrong with the mailform (it won't send/gives me an error), so I'll try again later. (If you happen to have a direct e-mail address for sales, that'd be awesome too :-) )
