>> Hi gang,
>> 
>> 
>> Being that I host several PHP driven websites, this isn't
>> completely off topic.
>> 
>> I used to use RackSpace, but the high prices didn't match the
>> nonexistant service.  So I switched to Server Beach, where the prices 
>> rocked but they refused to provide backups, even when I offered to pay 
>> extra.  So I switched to aPlus (who got a high rating as a hosting 
>> provider) - and was lied to by the sales agent up front; lied to by 
>> another who promised a customer I referred I would get credited one 
>> month; and then told to bugger off when I had complaints.  And after 
>> half a year their backup is still not implemented anyway!
>> 
>> Are any of you out there happy with a dedicated provider, and paying
>> in the $100 - $250 range?  Do you get backups?  Do you get printed 
>> invoices?  Do you speak with a human when something goes wrong?
>> 
>> I'm looking to mirror Mambo in the US, and also am gearing up to
>> launch a new online magazine (more on that later, the domain will blow 
>> your minds), and have no interest in spam or pr0n - my content may be 
>> misspelled, but is nevertheless clean.
>> 
>> Anybody out there lend a helping hand to a distressed and
>> distraught soul?
>> 
>> -- Mitch, devastated and annoyed at the threat of looming DNS updates
