Joys of ASP.NET hosting

I have had a half day outage of my personal domain kariv.com today. It is hosted at godaddy.com. THe reason was "application pool" starvation. I tried to figure what I did wrong for about 3 hours, before calling their support. Once I did, and spent 40 min on the line it was fixed. Of those 40 min, 10 I was waiting for an agent, 5 for identifying me (logging into my paypal, finding the numbers and reading out to the agent), 15 for her trying to troubleshoot the problem, 10 for second tier support to actually figuring it out.

It could have been worse. But I am still unsatisfied. I am going to move to discountasp.net which is the best asp.net hosting out there. lots of awards. And my experience with them for several years was nothing short of excellent.

Godaddy will stay my registrar. THe current one I use, idregister, is too small and too hard to reach.
