after too many years of putting up with a web host that didn’t seem to want to help me (for 5 years), i found one that will. and did. it’s funny that it’s called misanthrope.
one of the guys who works there just took all my stuff off the old server and plopped it on the new one out of the kindness of his heart. he even installed MT for me so i didn’t have to deal with technical settings, etc.
everything is so much faster! i can actually save an entry without getting a 404 and having to rebuild the index page for it to show up. omg.
so, if you’re looking for a new web host, use them.
