When your hosting provider's tech support sends a strongly-, but garbly-, worded email saying that this is the second warning that you are using a shell script to run mt-comments.cgi on a listening port in violation of the terms of service, but you aren't, do you:

a) Change your mt-comments.cgi script to something slightly more obscure?
b) Export all of your MT entries?
c) Think about moving off of MT, even though you like it and have a paid license for it?
d) Think about that migration to another provider (perhaps one more friendly/knowledgeable regarding MT) you're going to do in the fall anyways because you're too cheap to pay the regular rate for the free 3-year hosting plan whose metrics are now a bit outdated?
e) All of the above?

I just did a) and I'm trying to do b), but not all of my stuff is coming out. Good night!

Textdrive is pretty clueful: http://textdrive.com/

Yeah, they look pretty good. I remember you blogging about moving over to them. I'm currently hosting MHS over at InMotion, and I'd need to contrast/compare their service/price with TextDrive. Currently my hostnames and web spaces are fragmented between different providers and I'd love to consolidate them.

One good thing about TextDrive is the support for multiple root domains in their cheapest plan. Our current $10/month InMotion plan has great specs and is pretty easy to work with, but only supports one root domain.

I use HostRocket's RocketThree Plan. I have used HostRocket for years and their uptime has been phenominal.
