soIrritated - My Web Host Is Cr*Ppy

In summary, there are a few potential reasons why your website may be experiencing downtime. These include server issues, maintenance, and an increase in traffic. To improve the speed of your website, you can optimize images, minimize plugins, and consider a higher-performance hosting plan. If your website has been hacked, contact your web host and update security measures to prevent future hacks. Keep in mind that most hosting plans have a bandwidth limit, so monitor usage and upgrade if needed. Finally, you can switch to a different web host if you're not satisfied, but be sure to research and plan for the transfer process.

So I took my site down for maintenance this weekend and all that is there is a maintenance message. I have been building a new blogsite (combined blog and website) and I am finally ready to roll... and the FTP server goes down at my webhost... so I can't access my site to update it, and the only person on the other end of the phone doesn't speak English well and can't give me a definitive ETA on the fix. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

Anyone have any recommendations for reliable web hosts? My server has been down twice in the last month and that is unacceptable because I sometimes host newsletter images on my server, and if that happens, then everyone's newsletters lose the photos! I do have the option to use my newsletter service's server, so I am going to have to do that instead from now on.
 
I've used a company called Cedant for 5 years for my business and have not had one day of down time.
 
DH and I have 3 sites with Traverse Global, and have been happy with them.
If you use this link, we'll get a referral, which will help DH maintain the forum he runs: http://www.traverseglobal.com/idev/idevaffiliate.php?id=4316_0_1_1
