I've been with Freepgs for a while now, and I currently own a domain at http://www.dragonrain.com, domain hosted by LVCS and site hosted by Freepgs. Freepgs has nice people, but I've found that downtimes are very frequent with this host. Though the fire incident makes things a little more understandable, it doesn't change the fact that my site is down when it shouldn't be - that's including all the downtimes before the fire.
I have a few questions regarding the server/new server.
1. What are the chances of there being more downtimes in the future? As frequent as it has been lately? I've experienced downtimes at inconsistent time intervals, shifting from every other hour to full days of server problems rendering my site inaccessible. Though the answer to this question may be difficult to determine, I would appreciate anything you could tell me.
2. Are there many more changes/upgrades to be made with the new server? Should we anticipate any more moves etc?
3. If I were to change hosts, what steps would I have to take? Do I simply renew my domain name (which expires this year) as a separate issue, and pay for a new host telling them that I own such and such a domain?
That's about all I can think of at the moment.
Thank you.
