Did you see that? No?! Too quick for you, huh?
Well, let me tell you what just happened. Within the span of about an hour and a half we successfully migrated one of our sister sites, CSStux, over to DreamHost as well. So painless. So quick. It is just extraordinary!
Just a few more projects to transfer over now....

What had become a week-long nightmare ended up as a dream today.
I have been battling problems with my web host and domain registrar for about a week now. What started as a few slow loading pages blossomed into entire areas of the site simply not loading. When I contacted my provider, GoDaddy, to gain a bit of assistance they told me: 'The problem has been resolved and if you have further problems, let us know.'
Great, I thought. I like it when people help me solve my problems. But unfortunately it was not true. I went back and forth a few times and even involved John over at Loghound at one point to help me figure things out. But alas it all pointed back to GoDaddy. Funny thing is they kept repeating their mantra: 'Everything is fine. Nothing is wrong.'
Well, I couldn't take their lack of help any longer. So I packed my bags and headed for a better host. Upon John's recommendation I checked out DreamHost. And let me tell you what, these guys are very helpful and quick. They didn't let my e-mails go unanswered or take 8 hours to return them, as GoDaddy did.
Within the day they had everything up and running and everything is back to normal. Funny thing is, I didn't change my coding at all. Everything, code-wise, is and was working fine. Come to find out, it was a GoDaddy problem. Go figure.
If you're looking for a host or just a domain registrar, I would highly recommend DreamHost. But, no matter who you go with, just say NoDaddy.
We will be moving CSStux and a few of our other projects over to DreamHost, from GoDaddy, early next week when our schedule becomes a little more freed up.
