I think you're mostly against shared hosting at those cheap sites that oversell or over advertise. A good shared host is rock solid with guarantees of CPU/disk/bandwidth, but they are also more expensive.
I'm always happy to help setting up anything that needs help. We seem to have no shortage of sys admins in the tankadin community.
I acknolwedge my total ignorance on hosting etc but isnt it possible to mirror a site on multiple hosts and synchronize them somehow thus sharing the bandwidth load on more than one host? _________________
