Hey guys, Dreamhost is giving me the boot and I'm back on the market for a new host.

My forum is carolinarides.com (http://www.carolinarides.com), and we've got ~1500 registered members, most users ever online was 395 but that was mostly spiders and bots.

I talked with Site5's live support and they recommended their Superhosting UNLEASHED (http://www.site5.com/hosting/comparison.php) plan.

Are any other users hosted by Site5? What are your impressions? How big is your forum?

Thanks in advance guys. :)

I'd had a bad time there, and just recently moved on. Numerous unexplained gaps in availability of my site (an average of an hour a day some weeks), and the most recent was not one, but three failed hard drives on the same server within 2 weeks (2 different primaries and one backup). 8+ hours each time to get back up and running.
Might want to keep looking a bit.

I was there for about 1 month. My site had several server loads and i could not get to it numerous times. Your experience could be different. I read many users are happy and others are not. You can find many reviews on there service HERE (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?searchid=243429)

I use Site5 and have had no problems with them. I've been there since September.

I didn't use Site5, but looking at their packages I think it really is a good deal. I recommend my host www.lypha.com (http://www.lypha.com), I didn't experience anykind of downtime, server overload or even mysql errors :). Good for gigantic websites!! In addition you can check out http://www.10-cheapwebhosting.com/ for hosting comparison.

I use Site5 for hosting my forum: NetBusinessTalk (http://www.netbusinesstalk.com). It's been great so far.

I have a couple of friends who are not happy with site 5 and moved on. We all are at Hostww.com (http://hostww.com) now. Excellent host! I've been with them since Sept and have had NO downtime, they have 24 hr support. I highly recommend them.
