I had enough problems up my ass on my current host, and I had the last straw yesterday. After having numerous problems with the way PHP was compiled on my host I had to settle with hacks to get my scripts to work, some of which were the CAPTCHA script where initial PHP wasn't compiled with support of true type fonts, and there was some issue with a couple of GD functions which didn't work. And now this!!?

I am currently working on a script to get the page rank of a site, after almost 12 hours of labor I have come to the conclusion that it all boils down to my host. I've tested the script on 4 different servers including my machine and it all work just fine all except on the servers hosted by my host philhosting. I thought of asking their tech support but the last couple of times I did that I ended up with a sales pitch to avail of their dedicated hosting instead of a working solution. So the best solution would be to find a new host, I can't exactly complain here since they only charge a minimum fee for their services but I do hope that they provide better service, since I used to be a patron of their service and even recommended them to some of my clients; not to mention availed of numerous hosting packages from them.

I have 3 months left in my contract with them, but I can't wait that long so I'll most probably get a new host in the next week or so and work form there.
