Ziggy Web Hosting

I recently closed two Ziggy Hosting accounts and moved them to Host Gator after having too much downtime.
The saying, “You get what you pay for” was definitely true in this instance. While I didn’t use Ziggy Hosting for my main sites I did have a few blogs on their server that was consistently down. And I don’t mean down for a few hours or even a day - we are talking upwards of four and five days at a time.
While transfering my blogs from Ziggy Host to Host Gator I encountered a couple minor problems. Strange characters such as †started displaying on all the posts . Thankfully I found an easy solution to the problem at My Digital Life - Thank you!
Basically to fix the problem you have to modify the code located in the wp-confige.php file.
define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);
change to
define(’DB_CHARSET’, ”);
define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);
After modifying the code, the problem went away but created another. Which after some searching I realized was caused by a blank line at the end of the file. After taking out the blank lines, I finally had a fully functioning blog on a shiny new server and have been happy ever since. I love simple solutions being that I am technologically challenged and all ;)

I was also using some c class hosting “YLHHOST” but I left it due to more downtime, I get 1 week down my site. So I suggest every one to use the reputable hosting and hosting company need to have experience at least 3 years ….
