Just like aftershock media i also host with Techiemedia and because of that i can sleep well at night. They monitor all server 24/7 and typically catch and fix any major issues before i even know it happened. They also have a sweet back up option that backs up all my shit offsite and it's pretty cheap.  |
Techiemedia is a fine host, and has a good reputation just like about 8 web hosts I know
of who went out of business. Look at posts from a year ago - Alphared was "all that" until
they disappeared. My first server was with a company that had a great reputation until they
stopped answering phone calls and emails one day after their data center went dark.
We've seen what, FOUR major processors with good reputations disappear? Anybody
else here remember when the most reputable company in all of adult was AdutltCheck?
They were the most well known company in the industry, and very highly trusted, until
one day they ripped off tens of thousands of webmasters. Alphared WILL happen again
at some point. I'd bet that THIS YEAR one of the well known hosts will vanish completely.
Just a few months ago, The Planet, a large data center home to many web hosts, went
off line due to a fire. That was 9,000 servers. They did came back up partially a couple
of days later and most servers were back on lie after a week, but who wants to be down
for a few days even?
