We are currently considering moving hosting companies for one of our sites. The site is currently hosted in Canada, but we are struggling to find a high quality reliable Canadian hosting company that has live support (and ideally guaranteed up time). The company we are currently with for this sites hosting is not performing, in terms of the number of times the site has been down this year.
So its time to vote with our feet and go elsewhere. So far the companies we have found in Canada do not have live support (or if they do it appears to be offline all of the time). Obviously as we are concerned about up time we want to be able to quickly and easily contact the hosting company if there is ever a problem.
In our search we have found some very good hosting companies in USA, however I suspect hosting a site in certain states could be dumb to say the least. So what are you thoughts?
Do you host any of you key USA facing affilaite sites in America? If so are there any states you avoid?
Alternativly can anyone recommend a really good Canadian Hosting company we could try?
