1&1 Internet woes
I've been a 1&1 (www.1and1.com) customer for a few years now on their shared hosting plan.
On Saturday I ordered an upgrade of my website hosting package because I'll be showing off one of my projects to a largish group of people next Monday and want to make sure the performance is there.
They said it'd take 6 hours to complete.
6 hours later I emailed to find out the status and was told 24-48 hours. Ouch. But no problem, that gives me plenty of time to set things up.
Now, it's Tuesday and no upgrade. Every time I inquire to an update I get a response of "It's in process and we'll let you know when it's ready". Apparently, they can't even give me an estimate anymore.
If my site isn't migrated by tomorrow I'm going to have to find a new webhost in order to get things set up and let DNS propogate in time for Monday. Any favorites for a cheap ($100 a month ish) dedicated hosting solution with decent bandwidth and uptime ratings?

I've been with Enterhost, and I've been very please with their performance and support. Might be worth your checking them out.

Just gave them the ultimatum.
Do it today, or I don't want it and won't pay for it.
Tomorrow morning, if this isn't complete, my credit card company is my first call in the morning.
HiVelocity hosting is my next call. They seem decent, and have guaranteed me a 1-day setup time.

check out theplanet.com and servermatrix.com - I've got 2 servers with them since 3 years. You will not regret it.

I ended up going with a dedicated server with serverbeach, they've been great so far.
This site, as well as several other of mine are all hosted on the same box there.

I've also heard really great things about media temple but haven't had a chance to try them personally yet.

glad to hear your new hosting is working out better for you... I've heard great things about media temple as well, and am thinking about switching over to a dedicated server with them... I've been with 1&1 for about a year, and its been fine for my current use..which is basically a testing ground for development of a project that is not yet publicly available...but with the launch date approaching, I'm not feeling too trustworthy of using 1&1.
