[Hidden-tech] LiquidWeb sold to bottom feeders - time to switch hosts, any recommendations?

[Shel Horowitz]

I hosted one site with SiteGround for a year but left them when they
tripled the price after the initial contract. I had to leave BlueHost when
their tech support couldn't fix a major problem, but before that, I was
happy with them for several years. I had one site hosted with a small
company where I knew the owner, and got great service for a while, until
she pulled the plug suddenly, leaving not only me but several people I'd
sent to her utterly stranded. Between that experience and the need for 24/7
support, I got kind of soured on working with a really small hosting co.

I also have a lot of sites so cost is a factor. Those two factors are a lot
of why I stay with HostGator.
