@donnacha | WordSkill - I know you have a big hate stick for shared webhosts, but it's not like some of the problems you mention do not effect other types of hosting services as well that don't require overselling and such. I mean, what if I moved WPTavern to a VPS and I continued to experience problems? What would be the argument then? Purchase my own server equipment and then have it co-located?

I understand the risks involved with shared hosting but in reality, my two years with AnHosting were pretty much trouble free. I had a great experience with them. Now I'm on HostGator and so far, so good. I don't think you can accurately have a blanket statement that all shared webhosting providers are bad. Many are bad but not all of them.
