I've been moving this site around from host to host the last couple of months. The first move was about cost - I found a much less expensive alternative in PDQ Networks. However, this turned out to be a terrible idea.

PDQ's servers, in the 2 months I used them, were constantly either ridiculously slow or down. Indeed, during the second month, the site was down at least 11% of the time (I say at least because it was certainly more than that, but I'm not always aware it is down).  Even for a personal site, no one could tolerate that level of instability. Belatedly, I did some research on PDQ (one review is here), and found out that the problems I experienced are typical.

So, I guess that old maxim is true - you get what you pay for. I'm with a new - more expensive and better-researched - host, and the site should now be very reliable.
