It was the freakiest thing - we'll call it the Tom Brady Effect. I think that a lot of people weren't familiar with Brady at that point. It lasted for weeks.

I'm on my second web host in less than a year of blogging. I loved the first one (Host Monster) until my site got onto Reddit for the first time and crashed three times in about an hour back in June. After that I switched to Media Temple -- after reading tons of reviews about how they can handle high traffic spurts -- and I couldn't be happier. No downtime that I'm aware of and since switching I've made Reddit three more times without a single crash. P.S. Go Yankees! :P I couldn’t agree more Angela.

When I find something I like, I become extremely loyal. Bill, I was really scared about that kind of thing when I first started out. I noticed a lot of people don't talk about who hosts their sites. I think that's valuable information because it really is the most important part of having a website. I did get lucky. When I find something I like, I become extremely loyal.

Most just don't know what customer service is, others are fly by night take your money and run. Thanks for giving another option should I need one. And for goodness sake join their affiliate program and get your affiliate link up. If you are going to advertise for them at least get something in return.

And I think you got lucky to get the hosting game right the second time around. I've been pretty fortunate in always having money ones, just some cost more than others. (#);) FANtastic post Angela!

Most of my sites are on a dedicated server now, it's not cheap though. I seem to find one rubbish host after another. Most of my sites are on a dedicated server now, it’s not cheap though.

I am looking for some recommendations for when I change my setup later this year and I will keep them in mind, Becks I agree Angela, a good host is worth it’s weigh in gold, and just think of the time you save.

You should definitely put up an affiliate link so that if this caught anyones attention, you'd make a buck or two. It doesn't hurt to cash in on your efforts from time to time. On another topic... what do you think about the Celtics acquisitions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen? Being a Bostonbrat and all I figured you might have an opinion! I agree.
