Not really a running theme.
The web host I tend to favor was experiencing “technical difficulties,” which would, I’m sure, interfere with the “99.9% Uptime” rating. Or not, as numbers are easy enough to spoof.
What I was looking at, poking around the backend of the server’s interface, I found I used 20 times as much disk space as I was previously allotted, and I used 4-5 times as much bandwidth (cf., through-put).
Consideration: When bandwidth was cheap, I favored a highly-graphical interface. Switched hosting company, bandwidth cost more, switched to a text-based interface. Variations on a theme, visible even now.
In 2003, I switched to the current hosting company. By and large, very happy.
The problem was, moving from one company where the bill was $100 quarterly to $100 yearly? Not much math is needed to see that one work. The problem was discipline, as the site had to use less than 5 gigs of bandwidth and less than 100K files, for a whole month. So trimmed and pruned, moved to a single column format, and lived happily ever after.
In the most recent tech crunch, bandwidth is cheap. So is hosting. I’m also a reseller, although, I prefer if the purchase is off the button not me as a private label reseller.
Still, the new “unlimited” is nice. In five, six years? That’s a lot of growth.

The title is “Twin Forks,” but I always thought about Mr. Tim’s as a “fork in the road.”
Limits of hardware:
The flowering bush? Ruby Tuesday theme? Another cell phone camera hatchet job, front lawn in Dallas, other morning.
Desperately trying to capture the ruby-red backlight leaves.
Nice ruby view.
