I was having problems with a technical issue and was eventually asked "why do you think this is our problem." I soon sent a message back informing Hosting Matters I had solved the problem. When I finally got a query from someone asking how I solved it, I told them: by switching to Typepad. Typepad is an integrated solution (as you know--they host as well as providing the Movable Type-style blogging platform) but for the record, when I got an Instalanche a couple weeks ago I had no problems even when I peaked at over 3,000 hits an hour. I just have the standard one-year pro rate of something like $140 a year, and I can have unlimited blogs with that. The service hit a very rough stretch last year but at least they were abjectly apologetic and it's been stable since then.

Expanding the pool of commenters has a tendency to substantially lower the overall quality of threads (based on the principle that large segments of the population are... how shall I say it... stupid). Just look at Kos or Hot Air. Don’t try to go *too* mainstream, Patterico.

You can check with GoDaddy, for starters. I switched when I ran ito similar issues with myegular shared hosting, and now have several under my control. All I can say is that everything has been completely stable ever since. The only caveat is that it does require a bit more know how and exercising more contol over the admin, although it is completely doable. P.,
