Moved Site to Enginehosting

Well, I finally had enough of my ‘discount’ hosting provider and switched to EngineHosting. You truly get what you pay for.
I won’t mention the host I was with previous to switching because they were very kind and apologetic during the cancelation process. But lets just say it’s amazing how some companies are able to offer such poor service and remain in business. I have been wanting to make the switch for a long time, but dreaded the hassle of packing up an entire site, CMS, SQL database, email, etc. and moving to another provider.
The last straw came last week when I discovered someone had inserted a malicious iframe in my index.php file. Occasional sluggishness is one thing, security of my site is another.
EngineHosting has been brilliant so far. They specialize in hosting ExpressionEngine sites, and the speed and reliability of their load-balanced servers is top-notch. I’ll be recommending them to future clients who opt for ExpressionEngine sites.
