There is no such thing as 'good web hosting'

For years I crawl my web sites from one host to another. Recently my subscription at www.InMotionHosting.com (thanks god!) expired so I moved to what I hoped to be 'a better web host'. That is www.iPage.com. Only few days after I moved and the madness began. They closed my web sites (yes, all of them) because some poor antivirus (a totally unknown Chinese product) reported one of my freeware programs as virus. Imagine that! All good antivirus (Kaspersky, Symantec for example) were reporting the file perfectly safe. Solid green!

I tried to reason with them that there is no virus in there and I asked proof for it. But it was impossible to make IPage moneky from support (which was incredibly rude and brain dead) to understand. They only had eyes for that under-the-table Chinese antivirus.

For the moment I solved the crisis. I put the program in an encrypted archive and published the archive on web.

So people! HELP ME! Are you hosted for at least 4-5 years by a decent host? I am tired to move my site from one bad web host to a worst one.

AND DON'T FORGET: Stay away from monkeys and IPower.com. They don't have much brain. (Actually I do recall that monkeys have some brain.)
