The truth is that I have been uncomfortable about their direction since they decided to become GVO.  And since that time I have had a series of downtime related incidents that have caused me to look elsewhere.

I have never actively marketed GVO or Kiosk as a business opportunity, because frankly, I knew that the average punter could get cheaper hosting elsewhere.  Occasionally I recommended Kiosk’s services to people who were serious about having multiple domains.

Briefly I toyed with the idea of becoming a webhosting reseller at a local level, but while I was toying with that idea, I began to have some serious service issues with GVO.

Some people (particularly MLM heavy hitters) love GVO, I have no argument with them.  I have my MLM residual income streams that I find easier to promote naturally as part of my business and quite frankly, I could never really see how I could fit GVO neatly into my business.

I would have probably stayed with GVO, it it weren’t for some serious downtime issues I’ve had over the past week.  It is a hassle to change hosting providers, particularly for somebody like me with seven active websites and a dozen or so more sitting on the server.

But matters came to a head and  quite a few business associates pointed me in the direction of Host Gator which sells incredibly affordable web-hosting packages from as little as $4.95.

I switched.
