    A List Apart has a great little ebook about responsive design which I'm diving into right now. I highly recommend it.

    P.S. Doug, you're starting to sound like Rosanne Rosannadanna (It's always something!) :)

    I am using my smart phone more and more, my tablet more and more, and starting to resent website designs that do not degrade well. Which is why I am now rethinking my strategy and including the old 800x600 min site resolution for design because that design format works so well with mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets.
     
    Always something...

    I've had nothing but good fortune with Verio as a web hoster. Until
    now.
     
    It seems like they have had a major downfall, out-sourcing tech
    support and using shoddy (or untested) servers.
     
    Have you had similar experience?
     
    Should I switch? To where?

    I have been using Hostgator for 4 years now. I currently have a copper
    reseller plan and manage 2 basic reseller accounts and 1 dedicated
    server for a client.
     
    On my personal account I have had absolutely NO downtime
    On one basic reseller package we have experienced no problems
    whatsoever.
    On the second reseller plan I manage for a client, we have had a few
    problems. The server failed which resulted in about 8 hours of
    downtime
    On the dedicated server, any problems we have experienced were our own
    fault, however Hostgator customer service has never charged us a dime
    for helping us sort them out.
     
    Hostgator customer support is awesome. If you contact them by phone
    they hardly ever put you on hold.
     
    Their chat customer service is good to excellent. The only issues I
    have ever had were related to the fact that I am not the registered
    owner of the dedicated account so sometimes they have to email the
    owner of the account for verification. This is frustrating for me at
    times, but from the owner of the account's perspective it is a great
    feature.
     
    If you want to bypass customer service and just get things fixed over
    email you can do that by emailing support@hostgator.com. They jump on
    support tickets fast and are efficient. If you know the problem or
    what you need and do not need to troubleshoot this is a great way to
    go.
     
    Their customer service department is located in Houston, close to "The
    Planet" a huge server farm in Texas where they keep their own servers
    and resell The Planet's servers.
     
    I would give them a 9 out of 10 in price, reliabilty, and customer
    service. The only reason I can't giver them a 10 is due to the failure
    of the one reseller server.
