Frugal Hacks is Back!!
After about 15 hours in the chair, Frugal Hacks is back! I'm so sorry for the unexcused absence, but I hope this will be the beginning of some smooth sailing.
We have switched webhosts to an established service recommended by a friend whose family has run web based businesses for many years. We really respect his opinion and are so happy to be starting fresh! They also have a generous affiliate program, so I'll be sure to keep you updated on our level of satisfaction. 
Thanks for sticking with us this week. I've learned a lot about patience, perseverance, and the Internet, and I've also learned that cheapest is not always the best.
I knew this already, but sometimes we have to learn hard lessons the hard way more than once. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Care to share a story to make me feel better?

Two words: toilet paper. Cheaper is NOT always better.
Glad you’re back!

Great news! I’m in the process of learning that “cheaper is not always better” when it comes to car repairs – we keep going back to get more parts replaced that just aren’t working like they should!

I’m glad to hear that all is well again, but I didn’t miss anything… I’ve been in bed with a fever of 102 for the last two days.
I’m not sure whose 15 hours was better. lol I might have you beat.

Glad you got things working again – it is so frustrating to have web hosting issues. If you don’t mind my asking, who is your new webhost? (I’m considering switching from my current host)
Thanks!

Melody,
Sorry – I just caught your question. Our new host is 1and1. They have less frills (no fantastico one-click installation of Wordpress) but a far meatier package and are well established. $5/month buys a package that includes 2 domains, will host up to 50 domains (!!!)and will make almost any user happy.
We were paying $3/month for more frills but less meat. I don’t think the fancier packaging served us well. I feel like I just traded the $1.19 box of Hamburger Helper for a $1.99 lb. of ground round.

Kim, thanks so much! I’ve actually had two other people recommend 1and1.com to me this week – so I will really take a look at them. Thank you!
