I pay $25/month to have my site hosted, and my ISP has never cut off my access, complained about "offensive" content, or cut me off if a kook or spammer complained about me. Your Web site gets far more hits than mine, though, so I'm not sure if they'd object to the amount of traffic you have. I doubt it, though. My Web site was originally hosted by AT&T, but they sold off their Web hosting service and it's been an independent company for a few years now. The hosting site, if you're interested, can be found at http://www.interland.net/ -- hope this helps. As far as a reliable Web host goes, the old adage “you get what you pay for” usually rings true.

On more than one occasion, I've bitched for hours about somebody else being the problem, only to find out that some goofy, pointless experiment I had forgotten about days ago is still stuck in an infinite loop.

You probably have some jackass on the same host with a poorly written script that’s causing an intermittent bottleneck.

Ha, for all I know, that jackass is me!

Maybe in the guise of a sponsorship deal? Surely with all those visitors, some kind soul who works for or owns a hosting service can do right by you. Maybe in the guise of a sponsorship deal?

Shared servers are annoying. You probably have some jackass on the same host with a poorly written script that's causing an intermittent bottleneck. If you have shell access, and aren't restricted from using 'top' or some other process monitor, you may be able to figure out which user is the culprit, and alert the admins about the specifics of the problem. This has happened to me before, and that's how I worked it out. People running bots are usually to blame; ie. IRC, AIM, what-have-you. Yeah, I’ve noticed this.

I had a strange day dream to back all these allegations up. The only reason the site is still accessible is because of a few rebel angels in hideout keeps the connection open. I'd say your hosting company is run by the demiurge itself. Be careful Rehcoub Mit. And for the love of God do not abbreviate and fornicate after you ate eight crates of crepes.
