Does anyone have experience with Hostway? I can't rage about its horribleness enough. I started managing my company's website about a month ago, but since it was on (outdated) Wordpress, I didn't have to muck around on FTP or deal with the host until this week. I finished designing a new custom theme and organization system for the site and went to upgrade Wordpress to the current version... All I got was 500 errors, PHP errors, my mangled Wordpress files telling me all the specs were insufficient, more errors even after restoring the older version. I couldn't do installation tests because I would have had to pay extra per additional MySQL database. I tell support the specs are insufficient and I am lied to. Then I learn that the 'database has insufficient permissions for running WP 3.0', it's passed to Tier 2 support. Then a few hours later the database gets wiped. Days later no response. I had an XML export backup though. These guys can go gently caress themselves. I showed the boss some of the universally bad reviews for Hostway, got the go ahead and got us some 5-star goon hosting. We do tons of research with lithium batteries so it's totally appropriate. Oh, and for the sake of demonstration, I installed the same old version of Wordpress the site ran on the new Lithium hosting plan, and upgraded it... one click and it was flawless. Should have been soooo simple....
