The Long and Winding Road to pair Networks »
I tend to work with any number of web hosts on a daily basis through my work as a computer and network consultant, and for the most part, they are all the same. Day in and day out, there is really very little difference between hosts - when everything is running smoothly. What really makes the difference is when things aren't running smoothly, and that's why I've chosen to keep my own sites at pair Networks. Their tagline of World Class Web Hosting may seem to be just a bit of marketing fluff, but I have to say that I'm really sold on it.
Some years ago, when I first ventured online, it was through bulletin boards. As with a lot of people - at least a lot of people that I knew - I started off calling into boards, and later ran one of my own. Often it was an adventure in trying to be popular enough that people came by, but not so popular that people couldn't get in. This analogy actually corresponds quite well to web hosts these days.
