A couple of months of support nightmares later, I left them for another host, this one with a stellar reputation for quality and support, when they had a special that would match the price I was getting from the cut-rate host.

Even then, these guys couldn't carry Techie Media's jock when it comes to support/quality/speed and uptime.

After that, I RAN back to Techie Media, more than happy to pay more money in order to sleep well at night knowing that my servers will be up and the network will be fast. (Although bandwidth pricing has changed since then...so now I'm not paying more, I'm just getting more)
