Earlier this year, a company called Endurance purchased Powweb, which at the time was my webhost. I had been with Powweb since early 2002 and have been a happy customer up until a few months ago when all Powweb customers were migrated to Endurance servers.
The migration was pretty painful but I got through it after rebuilding my site 3 times. Immediately after the migration everything was looking good, speed was decent and my site was reliable. As the weeks progressed I started having problems with FTP being slow, sites being either really slow or 404. As a loyal Powweb customer I hung in as long as I could, but the straw that broke the camels back was their 60 second script rule when it came to uploading and downloading files from a PHP front end like Joomla or Gallery. If you couldn't upload/download within 60 seconds your connection was killed.
Numerous requests to have this removed on the support forums were ignored, and when that limitation affected me, I decided to bail.
