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

[RA Cohen]

I'll add my 2 cents' to the discussion - I've used Lunarpages for many 
many years. They are not the cheapest around by any means, but they are 
fair-sized, their techs are pretty good, I trust them with an email 
account with well over 100,000 messages - of course they could fail me 
tomorrow, but this could be said of anyone these days.

I work with several cloud datacenters these days and your very own 
cost-effective virtualized web server is definitely worthy of your 
consideration. I run my own CRM on one of these and the cost is quite 
negligible. Contact me off-list if you'd like some assistance navigating 
these waters.
