I'm about to follow Jason's suggestion and get a hosting account through MediaTemple: http://mediatemple.net/

The hassles that I am experiencing with share hosting are simply too much. I have 3 active websites with S2Member and another 6+ on the way. I want them all on one hosting account that can handle them and all their traffic and spikes.

Before I take the plunge to MediaTemple, I thought I 'd solicite feedback. Anyone else using them for S2Member? Anything else, that I need to be aware of before switching? Their interface seems simple enough - somewhat similar to Cpanel.

Thanks!! - Ryan

By the way - I'm not switiching all at once. I think I will just create new sites on MediaTemple and move the others as the need arises.

Hi, Ryan -

I used MT for several years and recently switched. Their customer service was superb, Plesk is easy to learn if you're already familiar with cPanel, and their uptime is also excellent.

I switched reluctantly after experiencing months of slow load times for my sites and not really getting a good explanation about why, other than to keep buying higher levels of service -- which didn't help. It's not that they didn't try to tell me, it's that I'm not a professional geek and their explanations were completely over my head. That may not be the case for you, though!

Thanks! Were the problem sites running S2member by chance? What hosting package did you choose? I'm hoping the "grid" $20 per month will be enough for me.....

cheers! - Ryan

No, I wasn't using s2member yet. I had a dedicated server, too (their dv package).
