Hi All
Recently I setup the ISOC Canada WordPress site at a Shared Hosting
website due to price but upon research and discussion with Joly and
others I discovered that Shared hosting opens your site to potential
hacking. Research revealed that the site is shared with 3,500 others.
Here is some research on the risk

*Question: Is it worth the difference?*
Secondly,
Upon discussion with the hosting company they don't have a VPS service to
upgrade the account.
Thirdly
When I did a WHOIS on the name this was the first thing I found. No
response yet from the hosting company, Ticketed the item with their support
on this issue as well. Almost feel hostage.
Name FastDomain Inc. (R1455-LROR) StatusADDPERIOD, CLIENT TRANSFER
PROHIBITED, TRANSFER PROHIBITED
Fourth
In conversation with Joly he recommeded a VPS site called GANDI for
more secure hosting

Also I found gatorhosting.com as well
