This is more of a follow up post from the post that we made last week letting everyone know that Gene Steinberg had moved over from DreamHost to HostICan. Below is just a little bit about why he moved:

My experience with our former provider, DreamHost — a large, laid-back company based near Los Angeles — was pretty good overall. They have great customer service, but an occasionally flaky network that can cause slowdowns and outages from time to time. It worked out all right for our needs for a while, but I ran into a moral dilemma when I learned that DreamHost, which prides itself on allowing any site that doesn’t engage in illegal activity to use its services, hosted a site run by the American Nazi Party. Since I’m Jewish and my dear friend David Biedny, my co-host for The Paracast, is the son of a Holocaust survivor, there was only one correct decision to make. And that was to leave.

Besides, it was time to seek out something that could better handle our growing requirements, which is why, after careful consideration, I selected the VPS service at HostICan, a small Virginia-based company that’s gotten terrific reviews and prides itself on running a robust, stable network. They also helped me to move the files over, even though DreamHost’s network crapped out that day and made the process take several hours.
