I need a new host and I need a designer

[pnArt]

I have a photography website, pnArt.com (http://www.pnArt.com) with hundreds of photos on it arranged in separate galleries by subject. It's implemented in HTML/CSS/javascript. In each gallery there is a grid of thumbnails but the thumbnails are not just a small version of the big picture, and each image displays with a caption and unique background.

The hosting company I was using was sold to a Russian company and I want to keep my operation in the US, so I need two things:

1. A new webhost. They must be based in the US and have their own servers, 24/7 telephone tech support, and a long track record of good service (at least a decade under the same management). I do not need e-commerce, and I am not trying to do this on the cheap, so please, no "free" hosts, etc.

2. I need to hire someone to write me a new website, just like my current one but mobile-friendly. The resulting code should be portable to a new host if this one doesn't work out, which means no proprietary platforms or "site builders". Plain old HTML/CSS/Javascript would be ideal. I've talked to a couple of Wordpress developers who said my current site could be done in WP but performance would be poor because I have large, 9-column galleries. Is that true, because I like my layout and don't want to change it?

Thanks in advance for any tips, etc!

I have seen the addition of more and more servers to keep up with demand. They are always responsive, cost-effective, and we virtually never suffer any downtime. Time is money and even 99.99% may not be good enough.

You will not be disappointed. I give Hostforweb.com (http://Hostforweb.com/) hosting out the highest recommendation.

Switching web hosts has to be done carefully. ... After you have all your files on both hosting accounts, it is time to change your domain name's DNS. Your new host will provide you with the correct name servers (DNS). You may need to contact the new host to find out what DNS settings you will use for your domain name.

Thanks for asking this question! As per your requirement I would suggest going with managed cloud hosting that is reliable and affordable. By using managed cloud hosting you can get a lot of features that you will deploy to your website and make is fast and smart. The cost of managed cloud hosting start with $10/mo. that is very cheap. Moreover, you can get a top notch security and unlimited application and server. Plus you will get 24/7 live chat and call support.

When you’re getting a new site or starting work with a new web designer, one thing that’s going to come up is hosting. More specifically, who’s in charge of arranging the web hosting.
