<div class="IPBDescription">Something reliable, please...</div> As some of you know, I run a little project called "Nightwatch" in my spare time. We have a website.
Or we should, rather.
As of right now, it's been down for multiple hours. This is a repeated occurrence, and while not -that- common, it's a serious problem. Why?
We run our entire development through our site. Staff forums, workflow logistics and transfer, etc. - everything is based through that server. So as you can imagine, every time it goes down for a couple hours, or in some cases, a day or two, we lose all that time in development. We're working on a tight timeframe and practically every <i>second</i> is critical given the scope of the project.
I'm sick of this, and I'm actively looking for a new host. If you can suggest any worthwhile options, please do.
I should be worried about cost, but I'm starting not to be. Although I hate to have to pour money out of savings for just a decent web host...

For $20 a year, you can be a premium member. By being a premium member, you get a gig of space, unlimited bandwidth, and access to everything you will ever need. (PHP, ASP, MySQL database, etc...) This is the BEST deal I've EVER seen. You also get a subdomain (Like nightwatch.flatface.net.) I HIGHLY recommend this host. It's very reliable. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
My host suggestion? <a href='http://www.dsvr.co.uk/' target='_blank'>DSVR</a> - yes, some friends are involved, but it's slightly more heavy-duty hosting than Okta<b>gone</b>... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
