Comments on: Is Your Web Provider a Used Car Salesman? http://www.ailema.com/2009/06/18/is-your-web-provider-a-used-car-salesman/ If you don't know, I'm not telling.

I chose Web provider just to throw the net wide - seems like there are a lot of shops that are one stop shops for all things Web - including hosting. Having said that, I can totally see why my choice of words might not have been the best in this case, because you're right - I'm mostly talking about designers and developers. As far as hosting goes, I've been using <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/" title="Web Hosting by DreamHost Web Hosting: Web Sites, Domain Registration, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, all on Debian Linux!" rel="nofollow">Dreamhost</a> for several years now and LOVE them. Support has been solid and the feature set they offer fit 95% of the work I do. I like the point of distinction you make here Luke.

That's what it sounds like, but I think of "provider" being just hosting / domain stuff. Either way, I agree and hope I am not that to my clients. :) Oh, and about the post: do you mean web developer / design shop?

I was glad to see your name on Paul Kortman's Social Media post, then saw you are still connected to Topher as well. The world is small... Hope you are doing well. Great post, Kedron!
