      take a look to http://www.whreviews.com

      A site with a lot of good information about hosting, plus does have a list of "honests hosts" based on Reviews at WHT.

        If you are unhappy, there are plenty of hosting providers to chose from. What are you looking for in a host and what's your budget? Perhaps then someone can point you in the right direction.

          thanks guys
          right now my budget is slim i can probably do $10 or less a month if thats even possible
          and i dont need that much space i dont htink but might need to upgrade later
          we have a vB forum on the server and thats it with about 30 members and at most 15 on at a time so far
          we have a couple hacks installed if that makes a big difference and a few skins
          i really dont know how much i need to tell you the truth lol

                You should be fine with your budget, I suggest you to visit Webhostingtalk.com and Whreviews.com to take a look to those potential hosts.
                Do a research about them, take your time, you wont want to end in another host like the one you're now.

                  You having a small forum, i think issue is too many website at your server. You can check it by simple type www.domaintools.com/yoursite.com. Some complaints to your supporters are good method before do something


                  Please tell me the hosting provider you are using? I recommend you to use startlogic.com to put your website

                    dude if you find a right host, you can live on a shared environment even upto 120 concurrent users, research it well.

                            I think you should

                            I think you should promote it, the host is the second factor

                              What statistic do you have that "most" web hosts impose such a limit? Most refers to more than 50%...I know that we don't impose such a limit and other companies that I've worked for in the past don't either.
