Well.. My friend has hostgator but they've been under a 5 day DDOS on a certain server. However, since she's new, they refuse to move her. Her website goes down sometimes and she has trouble accessing FTP and panics a bit.

If you were in her position, would you panic and switch hosts, or would you wait it out?

Site downtime is an estimated 30 minutes a day.

(I told her switching hosts would only cost her more $ since they probably wouldn't move her *** over either if they were under attack)

I guess she should wait it out, the company can't do anything about it, she's just unlucky. Even if she were to switch, it can happen to other hosts too. :S

I'd wait it out if the site is new. If it's an established site and she'd be losing money, traffic ect, then I'd switch ASAP.
