      I have Host Gator. I don't have anything else to compare them to, but I have been extremely satisfied with their support.

          I've used Hostgator for about 3 years, and have just renewed for another year. Never had any problems at all with them

              I have hosted with them and they are indeed good. Better customer support than any other host in the category and relatively better uptime as well.

                      Great service, good for a budding forum, they have trouble handing bursts of traffic (over 100?) on their shared hosting plans (anything under $25 a month as of this posting).

                      I use them now, looking for a good host to replace them.

                        I'm hosted with GlobalGold, and am extremely satisfied with both their support as well as their pricing.

                          I don't like them, simply because the larger your forum gets, the slower it becomes, until it just dies.

                          Go with StartLogic hosting, I use them for a website I have and god, I had only one downtime and that was it . Very reliable and have won many awards.
                          That's it. If you REALLY can't say ANYTHING nice to me at all on this forum, then I am going to go insanely mad at you. I've had enough of the UNTOLD ABUSE you are all giving me and you should really be CONSIDERATE of other people.

                            A site would have to be very large indeed before any effect on speed would show.

                            Hostgator is, by nearly all accounts, an excellent choice for any new forum or beginning webmaster.

                              Why not upgrade to a VPS or Dedicated package (with HG)?

                              If they don't have VPS out already, it should be very soon.
