Peter,
Thanks for helping support my general feeling that I didn't do anything wrong.
By the way, I signed up for RochenHost.com today. Siteground settled a bit lately, but I just don't trust them any more. The sad part is that I lost a years worth of fees paid up front--I guess I'll consider it tuition. I hope all the good stories about rochen are true... off I go into wild blue yonder...

Kent,
Keep me posted about your experience with Rochen. I might be hosting several domains with them.
Thanks,

Kent, I have used siteground for a long time and for many clients too, and never had a problem (may just be luck???)
Like others have noted, it's the site over the host. In my situation I havn't been hacked on any servers I've used...and I've used many servers!
I really think it also comes down to the luck of the draw, if someone wants to hack your site and they are inclined technically they will find a way! unfortunately!
If you still have your site ground account...don't waste it...put up a site, maybe on a different subject matter to what the site being hacked was.. and see what happens! - Don't think, Feeeeel... It is like a finger pointing to the moon. (slap) Don't concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all that heavenly glory.

Justin,
Thanks for the thoughts. I probably will put something up there. I help out a non-profit organization and may host their site on it.
Also, it isn't just the hack. I think that I've had about 30 support issues in the first month I was on it. A whole wide variety of issues... server performance problems followed by a server failure, problems with the move to a new server, e-mail issues, the hack, etc... It gives me a headache just thinking about those first few weeks.

There are a few things I like about serverlogistics.com. One, they won't oversell their server the way most hosting services do. Two, it's Apple OSX. I don't think anyone is going to waste their time trying to hack it. Three, the hard disk drives on the OSX server are built specifically to be on 24/7. I have had a hard disk problem and I don't anticipate it. Four, support is freaking awesome. Aaron is the owner and he's on top of everything. Five, email is all mine. I control every aspect of it. It's very unintuitive, meaning I had to learn a whole new way of email, right down to filters, spam ratings, spam settings, friends, the whole nine yards is all up to me.
So there are options when it comes to hosting, yet based on my experience with 2 other top rated linux hosts, I chose serverlogistics for security purposes and performance. - Peter

Latest on the hosting stuff... I've been pretty happy so far with Rochen. Support is good and performance is pretty good. I've had a few minor problems e-mail and performance accessing the site for admin. These issues appear to be out of their control. It is clearly a smaller community of people, good orientation to Joomla and I feel more comfortable on RAID5 with proper backups. Siteground performance may have been a bit better, but it is really hard to tell. Boy, shared hosting is quite a learning experience...
As an aside, I've spent 20 years in the IT world as a professional in all areas from programming (TI-99/4a to Fortran 77 to Turbo Pascal to Delphi to Java) to hardware to managing teams of people. I was deploying production websites in 1994. This whole arena of Open Source and particularly Joomla is really amazing. I'm learning as fast as I can and converting people as I go. I really appreciate everyone who responded to this post and contribute to this community. It is really changing the world more that anyone knows, I think.
