Hey guys, I am currently with Bluehost, They told me I need to leave there server due to CPU and Memory Usage. I have looked around, it seems that most of the people who leave hosts that have CPU and MEM limits, go to AmpHosted, because they arent nearly as strict. I talked to the support, and it seems like they would be a great host for forums, I talked to Justin, one of the administrators, he said most of the forums that he hosts are larger forums from sites like bluehost, godaddy, hostmonster and hostgator.
What id like to know is... is there anyone here that has hosted with them? I am almost positive I want to move to there servers, I would just like to see if I can find someone who actually hosts with them..
Thanks!
ALSO! He said that I can get a free month!

Try "amphosted review" in Google. You will get many reviews about them.

I found some good reviews, I havent found a single bad one. They are a smaller company though, perhaps thats why they can accept heavy forum users?
They have a vbulletin forum as well. Seem to have good support
Edit, I gave in, signed up, There unlimited plan (http://amphosted.com/hosting-unlimited.html), is a little more than bluehosts, but as long as I dont get the stupid suspended page, IM GOOD!

For sure, I have a free month, I doubt I can wait that long to post a review, they already blow bluehost out of the water, lol

AmpHosted Review
I must say, for a new host on the block, I am rather impressed. They started using the world known and over rated UNLIMITED plan, just like bluehost and hostmonster, but it seems they thought that would be rather confusing for some people, they didnt want to mislead anyone.

I like that idea, it solves a lot of issues :).
The server is much faster than the Bluehost server I was on. However they are going to do some upgrades soon, they said to expect a little downtime, I think they said they are moving to a new server with a diff company. And sell vps or something like that.
The customer service is rather impressive. There average response time for me was like 5 minutes (I put in 3 tickets). They were all resolved within the hour though, its great.
Thats about all I have to say :)
THANKS!
