soniaETA 10/26/2011: linkdisk.com NOT RECOMMENDED, partly for having a whole lot of trouble making my website work properly, but mostly for being blacklisted by a major provider for over a week so my email keeps bouncing. Now trying pacifichost.com and crossing my fingers. *sigh*
END ETA
For those following along with my web host drama, dynadot.com was a complete bust. Their "support" consists of telling me it works fine for them and I have 30 days to get a refund on my account. Right.
So I searched on 'respectful cpanel web hosting' and found Link Disk. So far, I'm thrilled. The owner of the company answered the phone on a Saturday morning, communicated with me like an adult, and answered my questions with clear competence. Woo hoo!
Also at his suggestion I am now a "reseller" which I think will make it easier to manage the one other external website I take care of, plus all the separate little folk dance websites, etc. that I manage out of my own account.
So in the end, refusing to accept disrespect and bad service landed me somewhere with good service and a good price. Whew. I was starting to think it didn't exist. I'm hoping to be a happy, loyal Link Disk customer for many years.
PS: I will likely quit posting so much really soon, although I do have another couple of thinky posts brewing. I'm enjoying the sense of having companions on the journey from your responses. Thank you.
PPS: I haven't gotten in the habit of using cut tags. Is that bugging anybody?
PPPS: I biked up to Council Crest today as part of a 35 mile loop and I'm tired. It was fun, though.

2) TMI (medical or gynocological or sexual or mental health)
3) photos prone to break the reader's flist format
4) spoilers for television or books.
Most other things do not require a cut-tag. Although no one ever complains about a cut tag being used, just about them not being used.
In any event, I'm glad you found a better web-host.
