In an attempt to increase efficiency at Luminari, we wanted to set up an SVN (Subversion control software). We were having some serious issues, and in desperation requested assistance from the support staff. We’ve worked with a lot of different hosting services in the past, and unfortunately my experience with customer service has been below par in those experiences… so I had low expectations. BUT, with our hosting service, Third Generation Hosting (http://www.thirdhosting.com/), I got prompt and thorough assistance through my attempts to set up the software. And now thanks to their assistance, Luminari is now running off SVN.

Thanks Third Generation Hosting for your assistance!
