My web hosting account came up for renewal this week, and I just can’t do it.  You see, about two months ago we had a little “incident” where several of my sites on the same host were defaced, with no good explanation as to how/why.  We suspected it had to do with a FrontPage Extensions vulnerability at our web host.  Which wouldn’t have been that big a deal if the note I sent via the company’s prominently displayed “Tell our CEO how we’re doing” link hadn’t been summarily ignored.  Twice.So this weekend, to take my mind off a grueling week at work (don’t ask - wasn’t pretty) I decided to drill in and migrate my stuff, including blahgKarma, to a new hosting account at A2 Hosting.  I found A2 via 43Folders (thank you Merlin), where they not only heartily endorsed A2 (they host 43F), but had a sweet 20% off coupon.  And, I could finally dump Windows hosting, which I’ve been wanting to get around to for some time, but haven’t.So far, so good.  The A2 control panel, cpanel, is WAY better than my last host’s.  And, Fantastico is making for some fun playing around with various Open Source web-based CMS installs, including Drupal which I used for a project last year and liked.Web hosting is certainly a commodity these days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy it inexpensively AND have it work well.  Now if I could just find something with a cpanel equivalent on an OS X Server backend, I’d be REALLY happy…
