In the past I've been with two people, the first one i forget the name and it was somewhat difficult to talk to them. and currently I'm buying from a friend, from his reseller account and it's much easier to ask for more bw (when i needed it) and for extra sites on my account etc. Although I really doubt that wont be needed this time around.
I would be dropping my hosting completely but as it stands, I had a few customers (mainly friends) That are hosted on the same reseller so there is little I can do about that for now. Might just simply drop SA, and run my site of the hosting and attempt to get reductions in price :/
Also I'm thinking now, 1GB is to much. My server has used almost 3GB but on it is several sites and needless files (at least now it does) For just my portfolio and a few 100 pngs. I think 500mb will be fine.
