Reading your post open my mind that it is a big lose as we not only have to spend fixing cost, but also lose the opportunity to get more traffic.

Definitely checkout www.webhostingtalk.com for web hosting stuff. People post bad reviews if anything happens to them so it's really easy to find out which company is reliable.

Server is meaningless , Webhost is meaningless. When F.T.E.C.T.E , hits you. (Fire , Tornado , Earth Quake , Clueless worker , Tsunami , Electricity ) 1. You have monitoring tools that send you E-mail , phone , others when your site is down ? if not Get some. 2. You relly on DNS service from Webhost ? Bad Idea !! a) If the ISP decide to be an ass or not respond your down. b) F.T.E.C.T.E hit your down. Use **DNS faillover**. from DNS supplier with multiple location service. If people cant reach your site or webhost , you could have a billion hosting service on billion dollar webservers it would be meaningless. 3. You don't have mirror ? Why ? you set up simple cheap mirror that are your second and third and fourth option in your DNS failover in case other dont respond. No need for massive bandwidth on them and take a service that can be upgraded in case the main site is down for a longer time. They serve as nice backup. 4. Hardware failure happens. Buy new affordable webserver each one - two year. Share the load on multiple server instead of one supper server. ( this one depend on budget. ) 5. Use multiple location and services in different states , country. Share your server as backup host in return for the same favor from others. 6. Shop around every 3 - 6 month. http://webhostinggeeks.com/ http://www.webhostmagazine.com/ http://reviews.cnet.com/web-hosting/ http://www.webhostingstuff.com/category/Unix-Linux-Web-Hosting.html That's my take on this. No need to change main host if it's in your price range , just how your infrastructure is currently done. Dont take it badly , but Your infrastructure is broken currently , you put all your eggs in the same basket.

3. You don’t have mirror ? Why ? you set up simple cheap mirror that are your second and third and fourth option in your DNS failover in case other dont respond.
