I just recently had a major issue with my former web host that finally made me get off my butt to look for a new residence, something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I have known about Steadfast since before it was known by the name, and I first experienced the power of the awesome network with a website they colo (http://www.sc4ever.com/). Since I purchased the Bronze Plan for shared hosting, I have had my socks knocked straight off! :D
Pretty much everything I have experienced thus far has been top notch. However, I have run across two issues that really perplexed me, one of which was thankfully resolved by a technician that was in the (very) noisy server room. :P My big problem was not being able to create and write to files and folders through PHP, an issue half related to not being able to delete files or folders (https://support.steadfast.net/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=32&nav=0,1) (hint, new KB article ;)). I guess I have come to rely too much on my old host to make life way too easy for me, but having to do some old-school functions (chmod-ing) isn't that much of a bother. :) I just didn't put one and one together after reading that KB article, either.
Kudos for leading the blind (not physically), sick (ill) man in the proper direction. :D I guess all the medication to get over this cold isn't doing wonders for me whatsoever. :P
I had another issue as well, but I was able to figure it out on my own. Normally, I have come to expect the PHP function "display_errors" to be "On" in a shared web hosting environment. I did not expect to not see errors when I ran scripts with improper PHP syntax. A simple addition to a .htaccess file fixed that problem right away. :)
While my initial post was going to be for support, I found the help I needed with one quick phone call at just the right time. So far, so good, guys! Keep up the good work. :) I'm looking for a new web host for a local organization to which I volunteer my web skills, and I think I may have found just the place. 8)
