    I've actually given them an ear recently. Not literally, but basically - they had my website running extremely slow and they found the "bug" on their servers. they did fix it quickly, but I just hope it hasn't cropped up again.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I had the same problem with the server for my personal homepage. It was running very slow, but I didn't want to switch because that was my very first company that I signed up for hosting years before, so I emailed them saying that if this is not resolved I'll move to GoDaddy. Within 24 hours I was moved to a brand new server.

    Glad to be of help :) I still have the support ticket for that, I'll paste it in here for you:

    Hello,

    My site is running very slowly or is unavailble most of the time. This has been going on for quite some time now and nobody is returning my emails. Will this get better anytime soon or should I switch the server to another company?

    -Thanks

    I like it - critique would be - too much above the fold space wasted on 'introduction' and not enough on what you have the site for (showing your work) ie. you hide it behind too many mouse clicks. I would try to reduce the size of the middle (welcome) paragraph and put direct links to some of your samples, probably try to show more of them up front too
