Thanks for the suggestion, but RecordingReview.com has grown too big. We are simply using too much CPU power for a $3 hosting plan to work. We were kicked off of a $10 per month host for using 50x our allotted usage!

+1 for 1and1 hosting. I had their $3 a month plan for a while too, and it worked fine. Server was uber-fast, came with all sorts of free coupons for advertising agents (for mah monies!) and it was up within a day and a half of placing my order for it.

Sorry to hear that lunarpages are a bunch of assholes. I vote for the middle finger.

Wow, that sucks. I can offer better reviews of 1&1 hosting (1and1.com), but I certainly have not used my hosting package to its full potential. On a modest 3 dollars a month, I have used less than one percent of my 10GB webspace, less than ten percent of my MYSQL database, and less than 1 percent of my 300GB transfer rate/month. I even switched credit cards without updating the number in my account, and they sent me a nice email giving me 14 days to figure things out before they shut down my site. I don’t think LunarPages would have done that. Also, they gave me 5 days notice on the server migration of my site, and then, it was only down 15 minutes at like 12AM central time.

I have no clue what resources Recordingreview.com uses, but I would recommend 1and1.com. That is, if only switching between hosts was easier than swithing within a host…..

Dave, Now that you have appropriately described dumb asses, I hope you will go on to describe sh*t asses. Thanks.

Brandon,
I have found that most dumb asses do not know (or refuse to admit) that they are dumb asses and it seems that scholarly research backs me up. Dr. David A. Dunning a professor of psychology at Cornell says that according to his research, most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent. On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dunning has found in studies, are usually supremely confident of their abilities — more confident, in fact, than people who do things well.
Therefore with this knowledge in hand, I believe it is incumbent upon us “the competent” to inform these dumb asses that they are indeed, “dumb asses”. In so doing we are providing a great service to them and society in general. So let it ring far and wide that you are doing the right thing by calling their “competence” into question.
My own private research has found that “dumb asses” are most commonly found in positions of government (both elected and appointed) and larger corporations, however they are also randomly scattered throughout society as you well know.
Good luck in rebuilding what some dumb ass has torn down but know that you are doing us all a service by pointing out these dumb asses who excel in incompetence.
Thanks, Dave
