The owners of that site REALLY need to do some better research on webhosting. From the article, the site is now with GoDaddy...
Anyway, if Godaddy fails I guess he can choose something else...the problem is that there are so many hosting companies and so much info that in the end you might end up choosing whatever...trials and error, I guess.
Do you propose something else, some other hosting? It seems Godaddy is in his town...so he can go and grab their nuts if they mess with his site...
