Great article. Interesting that you once attempted to start a hosting company yourself. Glad I'm not the only one with a record of some failed attempts! I also use hostgator for all my own projects and client sites. Their support is incredible every time! I used another hosting company once and when I asked them about setting up sftp, the '"tech support" guy asked if I was referring to an email protocol... Didn't use them again.

Thanks again for the article!
