If you’ve been wondering about the lack of updates to this site, then hopefully that hiatus will be explained when I move to the new host a couple of weeks from now, if everything goes well.
Changing web hosts is never a pleasant experience, which is why I tried to choose one host that has a lot of positive feedback, rather than going for the best value choice.
In case anyone is wandering, the site is currently hosted by Total Choice Hosting. In terms of hosting, or downtime, I have no complains. But I was screwed over last year when they asked me to pay a large sum of money for my .net domain because I had supposedly missed the payment, although I simply didn’t receive an invoice to do so.
Why didn’t I receive an invoice? It happens that we have to pay the domain in a separate part of their site, despite it being shown on the platform from which I payed the hosting (that platform had the invoice for the first purchase of the domain), and despite asking why I hadn’t received an invoice on the said platform and being told that I would receive it soon.
I still consider it a good host, and they have good value for their packages, and have always responded to my support tickets relatively quickly. Perhaps I’m being too harsh, but this is the sort of person I am. When it comes to something I’m paying for I am: Fool me once, shame on you, and no, I’m not sticking around for “fool me twice”.
