Well, I have heard quite a few negative things about this company, but they sure are popular. Let's hope the new owners can make things more pleasant.

From what I've read, it looks like its almost a reverse takeover. The new hosting company will be called Interland. The management team will be made up of a combination of the two companies.

Yeah, I heard Micron was on a host buying spree for a while. I think they bought 2-3 other large hosting companies. Now Interland is one of the very largest. Hopefully they'll beef up their support and service, because I know it was lacking before they were bought out.
