There's a grain of truth in that reply.

I learned to bake bread 30 years ago. Fun hobby, and you can get very good quality stuff for a lot less than from an "artisan" bakery. It's also handy, being able to make your specialty stuff, from basic pizza crust to fancy braided wreaths for holiday suppers, when and as you want it.

Thanks.

If I need to move this to a different forum, I will. Since this is the biggest group of computer geeks I know....
I have been struggling with GoDaddy for a few years, mainly because they are inexpensive and my needs are minimal. But a current project has been giving me fits with WordPress, and last week, GD quietly eliminated support via email. Now if you have any problems, you must actually contact a live person. From what I've been reading, wait times of more than an hour are typical, and you get connected to someone who is first a salesperson pushing "upgrades" rather than someone who can actually provide technical assistance. That's the last straw, and I want to move.
So: I am looking for a new web hosting based in the United States. The host needs to support both ASP.Net, and offer WordPress. The two sites I will be moving are low traffic, so a shared server is fine. Cost is an issue, of course, but I have some wiggle room. I would much rather deal with an established company with a good reputation than a recent start-up. One that won't constantly spam me would be nice, but that is probably asking for too much.
Any suggestions?
Added: Forgot to mention that I use .Net 3.5. If push comes to shove, I can port over to PHP: I prefer .Net as I have a dev environment for that.

Yes, I've just suggested that CP should start a web hosting service.
Other than that DiscountAsp.Net were always pretty good (but pricey) and Arvixe have been a little better lately.

I like DiscountASP.Net as well but I am not sure if they support that Word flattening service.

Arvixe looks good, and its rating on every ratings site I've checked is much higher than GoDaddy. I think that might be the ticket, thanks!

I like http://WinHost.com[^]. It's inexpensive,they offer free trial period. Has good up-to-date asp.net hosting and features.
I also think https://www.smarterasp.net/[^] is inexpensive, offers a free trial and offers decent support etc.

I second the Arvixe nomination: I've been using it for a number of years, and not had problems getting technical support or with the service (DDoS attacks notwithstanding, and they mitigated those pretty quickly)

Indeed - the idea of calibrating gravitational lensing is not at all obvious.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

For the 25+ years, I taken my coffe with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of milk; essentially, I drank it the may my mother drank it.
A couple of weeks ago, I thought about the amount of sugar I was consuming via cofee, and at 6 to 8 mugs a day, that started to add up.
I decided to forego the sugar; a week later I decided to forego the milk as well.
However, in the morning, my reflexive action is still to reach for the sugar bowl.
I have changed how I take my coffee, but stopping the muscle-programmed-action is taking somewhat longer.

That is the way it is when quitting any habit. The physical behavior remains after the psychological is gone. You have to replace bad habit with something else, or the old habit comes back.
(of course, I don't think a few lumps of sugar is a bad habit)

The old GDA for sugar was 120 g/day for men: http://www.gdalabel.org.uk/gda/gda_values.aspx[^]
But...the WHO has recently reduced that to 50 g/day: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26449497[^]
One teaspoon of sugar is 6g: so 6 to 8 mugs a day, is ~42 g/day, and that's before any of the sugars in fruit (10~20%), vegetables (1~10%), milk (5%), and processed foods (variable, can be enormous %)
So...cutting it out could be a good idea - and one I might have to consider myself.

That's funny. I wouldn't have thought about that. But yeah, I suppose the 'making coffee ritual' is pretty well coded.
Sounds like moving the sugar/rearranging the physical routine is in order. (Or get coffee from someplace else where you're not familiar with the layout for a little while, etc.)
