Moving and upgrading the Core
« on: March 29, 2014, 10:42:07 PM »
In the next few weeks I'll be moving the Core to a new hosting company and upgrading the forum to SM 2.x.  I figure it makes sense to do the move and the upgrade at the same time.  JaguarPC has just been dreadful, I really want to choose a reliable host for the move.  Drastic recommended Stablehost, Fluidhosting, or Hawkhost as options.  Anybody else have experience with these companies?

I don't know them. I've used Webfaction.com for two clients recently and they are my current choice for budget shared hosting.

Fast servers, no CPanel (part of why they're fast I think), git and ssh standard (though with recent CPanel updates, git is standard many places now).

BTW, I was once a fan of JagPC but, yes, they have been awful for at least the last 3-4 years.

Webfaction was terrible for me.

When moved off and canceled they said they could have fixed it by moving me to another server, but everything was so bad I was done.
