Migrating to a New Host

[Kane]

Have you ever switched to a different web host? What were your reasons for changing host? Was the transfer easy? Did you experience any issues? I have never switched to a different host but I have helped a lot of clients to change hosts.

I used to switch hosts a lot in my younger days, but I grew tired of crappy support and crappy service. That's why I created my own hosting company, "USHost247," back in 2010.

I started my self-hosted website in 2015 through Namecheap. I paid $9.88 to Namecheap to host my website. I liked their pricing, feature, and support, therefore, I never abandoned namecheap.

I have 20 websites with the same web host. How do you manage your multiple web hosts? Cannot you host all of your websites with the same web hosts?

I don't know... maybe it's just me, but... you post a lot about having issues with a host and never follow up with suggestions from members. You state that you switch hosts like you switch your underwear. Do you seriously have that many?

I registered my first domain in 2002 and though the top tech and internet companies in the country refuse to acknowledge me, I have a large number of websites. In the large 21 years many of the web hosting companies have shut down, so I am forced to change webhosts

Nanecheap was founded in 2000, ipage was started in 1998, hostgator was started in 2002, Godaddy was started in 1997. If you had used these hosting companies back in 2002, you could be still using them. Why did not go with the popular choices?
