As is tradition, I will now complain about my new hosting provider. (I did it with Tripod and I did it with 1&1.)
Complaint #1. PowWeb features WordPress autoinstall. Great! Only thing is, it autoinstalls WP 1.2.2. The current version is 1.5. I ran the automated install, looked at it for five seconds, then deleted all the files (and all the tables).
Complaint #2. Apparently PowWeb allows me to upload only two files simultaneously via FTP. This shouldn’t be too much of an issue with day-to-day or even month-to-month site maintenance, but I uploaded WordPress three times in the last two days, and it’s a hassle. Additionally, some of the timed-out uploads didn’t resume, so I had to go through the entire WordPress folder structure and ensure all of the files were present and at the correct file size.
I decided to bite the bullet and move the page over to WordPress. I haven’t developed my own theme yet, but I have put some time and thought into one.
Additionally, I changed my hosting provider. PowWeb has more of what I’m looking for for a little less money than 1&1. Due to the nature of the Internet, 1&1 still handles my domain, for six bucks a year. I haven’t yet figured out how to manage subdomains when I go through separate companies for domain and hosting.
