Thank goodness for RSS feeds, or I wouldn’t be able to get this message out: my web site is majorly hosed. It looks like my hosting provider botched the upgrade to PHP 4.3.10, because now every page returns a 500 error. I’ve been thinking about switching providers for a while, so this looks like a good time. My current one is JumpDomain, which worked well if you didn’t need a lot of hand-holding. But the support was always a little iffy, and now I can’t get hold of them. If you have a provider you like, send me an email to let me know.

There are a bunch of super-cheap hosters out there (hostcolor, hostony, siteground), but I’m not interested so much in super-cheap, as accessible. The cheap hosters all seem to be off-shore. I’ve got nothing against Bulgarians (or whatever), but it would be great to be able to get an English speaker on the phone during my usual hours.
