 * I have DPMS Hosting currently. I host five sites with them. As is the way of 
   so many small hosts, they’ve packed up and are shutting down “soon”. I need to
   move my WP installs to a new host.
 * 1) Could anyone recommend a host that allows multiple domain hosting under one
   package, preferably with Fantastico and WP preinstalled?
 * 2) Any tips on moving WP from one server to another? Is it a painful process /
   will I need to edit anything in the database tables?
 * Thanks~

 * I don’t recommend ipower. They once have suspended my account without notice 
   for my plugin. And now they have locked the cache directry under the wp-contet.
 * What they said by e-mail after a few days of the sudden shutdown was that some
   scripts are causing an extreme high load on the server. That’s it.
 * They don’t provide the details including how much the server performance was 
   affected, specific names of the scripts, numbers of process, information of memory
   and cpu resource usage.
 * To me, it’s just for no reason.
 * I had a plugin script which retrieves rss feeds with magpie and creats listings
   by categories sorted by time. That was the core part of the site. After they 
   unsuspended my account, I modified it to run less freaquent. But they didn’t 
   like it. So they now locked the cache directry which other scripts are also using.
 * If you are a coder, it will very discourage your motivation to write scripts 
   since making scripts is like weaving little secrets, especially if you don’t 
   publish them. If you get a locked directry all the sudden and you will feel intervened.
 * After all, what they say is to upgrade the plan to VPS’s, which costs around 
   50 bucks/m. It’s ridiculous that the money won’t come back which was paid annually
   if I discontinue them.
 * If you don’t run heavy scripts, then they might be ok.

 * vkaryl, thanks for your tip! Network Redux looks awesome. I contacted them about
   their migration service, which should help me out a lot. The only thing is their
   price – $7.95/mth is decent, but it’ll only let me host 5 domains – I should 
   have 6 or 7 in about a month or two, so I’d have to go with their second hosting
   plan which is $14.95/mth for 10 domains. That’s a bit pricey when compared to
   Dreamhost’s deal – $9.95/mth for unlimited domains and more storage and bandwidth
   than I could ever possibly need. Dreamhost doesn’t offer migration service, though…
   suggestions?

 * I host my own personal sites at synhosting.com. They use CPanel so it would be
   just a manner of making a CPanel backup and reimporting it over on their servers.

 * I wouldn’t use dreamhost to save my neck. Believe me when I tell you that NR 
   is worth every penny you pay….
