thanks paolo!
as charles mentioned, i did get in touch with him & i wanted to post to let everyone know what an asset his services are to the gd community.
he had my sites setup literally in minutes!
although i am new here to the gd community, i am no stranger to haggling with hosts, never getting things setup properly & then having to switch hosts over & over.
it was such a pleasant surprise to deal with charles & spectrum hosting!
not only was the hosting account ready to use within the my services area within a minute or two, but i was actually able to click thru into cpanel before my account details email even arrived!
so for those who don’t know this & are looking for a real gd host, charles has them perfectly optimized for gd right out of the box.
likewise, he patiently & very professionally answered every question i had as well as made some awesome recommendations as to how i should set things up as to avoid any potential issues down the road.
it’s such a positive experience i wanted to post & let everyone know that this is seriously the best gd host you can find. there’s no way cloudways would have provided this level of support or been this knowledgeable about gd.
so don’t let the re-vamping of the site at the present moment fool you if you are needing real gd hosting. they will have you up & running in minutes perfectly optimized for gd.
thank guys, this totally rocks…
keep up the great work!
