After loads of research over the weekend to find the perfect host, I finally moved my site today. What started off as a honeymoon romance a few years ago with LunarPages quickly soured over the last year as their tech support is now virtually non-existent and my site has frequent outages.<\/p>\n

After careful and thorough research I finally decided on AN Hosting<\/a> as my new host.<\/strong> They are a division of the more famous MidPhase<\/a>, but they offer outstanding value for money. For less than half the price of LunarPages package I get loads more disk space, more bandwidth, my site loads faster, 24-hour tech support that really supports (I thoroughly tested this overnight during the move), and trusty cPanel. And for all intents and purposes, they are MidPhase.<\/p>\n

When I grow out of their shared hosting, I can move over to one of their dedicated plans. They even offer Windows hosting with all the usual components.<\/p>\n

Lets compare the two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
