I'm Just A Little Ticked Off
I just sent a scathing message to every department of my hosting provider here in the Philippines. After the initial email message from me that they did answer, they have ignored every subsequent message. I sent messages to sales, billing and support. Other than an autoresponder from support, I have received no replies whatsoever. I even checked all my spam filters to be sure that I wasn't wrong.
This is the third host that I've ever had a dealing with. The previous two sucked to no end. It appears this one is in the same category. Now I'm searching for a new web host. I think I found one, but I have a dilemma. I have no way to pay for it. I have no credit cards and my shiny new PayPal account has no money in it yet. I have approximately two weeks to arrange something with that one, or possibly another, before bandwidth on this host runs out for the month.
I'm almost never angry enough to do something like this, but I'm considering pulling the plug on the whole shebang. I went to a lot of trouble to get the hosting I have now and they turned out to be crap. What's the next one going to be like?
I'm sorry, but I won't be writing anything for the next few hours. Possibly days. I'm in no mood for it.

Heard that lunarpages are good, but not sure as I have not tried it.
Hey RT,
Some of the images in your site is taking too much time to load. Just check them.
Oh dear. Are you serious about pulling the plug? That's bad. I seriously hope you find a good host you can pay from where you live.
Yes, local service providers tend to suck in Asia generally. Maybe Singapore and Japan and other developed Asian nations have good web hosting providers, but in the subcontinent it's just as bad. So I never go with local providers myself.
How much bandwidth do you need?

You need to join my webhosting company. Let me know if there is some way I can help you. You can get money to me somehow & can put the billing on my card for now.
Let me know.
[...] bad he is having trouble with his hosting, and is a little ticked off, which means he would probably not be writing in a couple of days. Hope you resolve the hosting [...]
Let me know if you need someplace to stay while you search. My hosting account will never be fully utilized, and I'd be happy to let you crash indefinitlely. if you're interest3ed I can set up an ftp/shell account and you could be moved in in minutes…
I don't know if this helps but Wordpress.org (not the free one) has a page that recommends some hosts – when I get around to it I am going with the top one in the list – a search seems like they are pretty good.

Forgot to say the top one on the list is Blue Host – not sure about paying with paypal though.
