Changed hosting again.

Well, I'm in the process of switching hosting again. I've moved up in the world, and now am using VPS hosting for all my websites.

VPS hosting is like having your own linux box working in a virtual machine. You have a root account and can install anything you want.

Some advantages:
1) You can install anything you want. Run any version of mysql or apache, or whatever.
2) You have a root account.
3) Plenty of disk space (15GB) and Memory (192MB) for the VM. You can get more.
4) You can host as many domains as you want (which is an issue for me with most hosting sites).

Some disadvantages:
1) You have to configure everything yourself. They have some nice web based tools.
2) You have to worry about security for yourself.
