time with hosting

I was use my first host for less than a month. It was a free hosting provider, and it made me understand why no serious web owners would use free host.
 
I was with my first host for a month - Didn't really float my boat, and them being a big provider just shocked me more.
 
When I first got into web hosting I was with a reseller host for about 3 months. The service was so awful during the 3rd month and the support was so lacking that I was pretty much forced into a dedicated server (a pretty big move in the mid-90's!).
