I then moved to a BlueWho and was very happy for a while, see BlueWho Hosting Review. Not bad on my second attempt at finding a host... but I tend to research things too much.

BlueWho had been increasingly worrying me with their service and looking at BlueWho's support forums, I was not the only one. A couple of support email answers left me feeling somewhat uneasy hosting with them and here are a few points that lead to me looking for my new hosting solution, Idologic Inc.
