So Im also a former tech, but I found this comic when I was at bluehost, I laughed my butt off and sent it to a bunch of the people in level 1 tech support. It was awesome, so sorry, I might be the reason you have so many bluehost techs posting. I was just pissed at bluehost for the way they treated employees, let alone their crap technical support. I've done CSR jobs for a long time, and the things they told us to do were just stupid. Beyond the constant bullying from the managers, and stupid late policies (if you are late 6 times in a 3 month period, for any reason, you're axed) the service was poor and the level of technical knowledge very low. Some people would send in tracerts and other detailed information proving it was our fault that they had slow connection times, and we were told to just respond it was on their end. I knew a tech that hacked a customers account using the password that is displayed when a customer calls in. Security sucks, service sucks, and support sucks. Beyond that, Matt Heaton (the owner of bluehost) owns many sites that say they are fair and balanced "web hosting review" sites, I have the screenshots to prove it. They play dirty, spy on their employees every keystroke and just suck in general. You did good moving. Great comic by the way. Hey Jacob, hows it going?

Good to hear that most of my suspicions are confirmed. Thanks for check out the comics. I certainly havent regretted it since I left. Good to hear that most of my suspicions are confirmed.

I've had issues maxing out my server (I run a fairly large dynamic site with a big database and a steadily increasing amount of RAM that gets lots of traffic), so that even a minor spike brought it to its knees, and DH has been awesome about getting things back up and helping me clean things up. But I know if the site keeps growing, I'll eventually max out their offerings (I dread it, but in a good way).

The digg effect is a shared host's worst nightmare. It's just not fair in a shared hosting environment to use 99% of the web connections for the 200-300 other people on the box. heh, I would have kicked your ass off my servers too.
