And, come to think of it, most of the times I called for phone support were around the Christmas / New Year week, when they might have been less busy. But when I did call I was impressed by the friendliness and knowledge of the techs I got, and that they seemed more than willing to help me with issues that were borderline out of their scope of service. They also follow up with an email detailing the call, and it goes into your online account center. Nice to have a record. That's just my experience, though. And all that said, I'm still looking for a shared host with better php/mysql speed. The interweb is full of love and hate letters for pretty much any host you can name. I'm glad you've found one you love! My experience with MT is far from extensive, and is only with their grid-service.

Otherwise, I love love love BlueHost. So odd that you haven't been subjected to MediaTemple's extensive hold times for phone support. These wait times for me were consistent no matter what time of the day I called. Good to know, thanks for the feedback! Doron Heya Kirk,

My experience with Media Temple support has been nothing short of great. One time I got a receptionist type person who took my name and number and someone called me back within an hour. While waiting was a pain, the approach they took was really pretty cool. That said, MTs page load time (in my experience) is frustrating when using a php/mysql CMS (Concrete5 is what I'm mostly using these days). I'm searching for an alternative host. With Bluehost have you ever bumped into the 50,000 file limit? I've heard that can be an issue. Ahhh…. webhosting…. the constant problem.
