Howdy Daniel,
Since I've latched onto this thread pretty tightly, here's my little followup.
The server was set up really quickly. I had requested that my sites be moved over in the original request, but I guess that was the wrong place to make the request. I opened a ticket to get it done, #382096.
In general, I am very pleased with the response times of responding to a request or question. I think the resolution was a little rocky, though. I would appreciate it if you or one of your senior guys would review the ticket and just let me know how I could have communicated my issues better. Also, please let me know if all of my requests were in line with the type of support your team normally provides.
Status right now: 1 WHM and 20 client cPanel accounts were moved over very quickly. I was able to make a few configuration changes since the PHP version was changed in the move, and all of those sites now seem to be working correctly. I just have to start my full testing phase now.
Not quite apple-to-apples comparison, but the initial impression is that the SSD VPS was a good selection. I may need to upgrade to the next level sooner than I thought, but that is still less expensive that HG was.
Overall? While I didn't think the response was quite scary fast, it was very impressive to me. Regardless of the minor issues, I agree with 3BCTO about the dedication to the fix: Your guys definitely weren't just putting me off or paying lip service. It was obvious they wanted to get this going quickly.
So far, I am still solidly in the "I'd recommended KH..." camp.
Thanks,
Andrew
