Quick update, I've now moved my forums onto my own dedicated webserver with RapidSwitch Ltd, so the link I posted before in this thread isn't an indicator of HostGator's service ;)

What about HostGators response time on transfering a Domain? I had to purchase one though another company since they had it locked down..

Also. How big do you boards have to get before you need a different option for hosting?

transfering domains to host gator takes from 20 mins to 6 hours. mines was around 40 so i was very happy. Usually at other hosters it takes like 1-2 days

Hostgator is the best, my forum is using HostGator: http://realbigsource.com/forum

Currently using Hostgator and very very happy with the service.

Just starting out so not sure about big boards, etc.

But ticket system and Live Chat have been very helpful.

i use http://www.bluehost.com

super service !!! check it out cheap as mofo :)

and will use it till i die

Well I have been happy with HostGator but I was told when I signed up my site wouldnt have a problem running on the Baby level. But yesterday I got my first error saying too many members are connected. I did sign up for a 3 year contract with them too. Guess I will have to wait and see and if it keeps happening, upgrade.

Hi guys, I just did a quick live chat with them, check it out:

Anyone who has 25 or more users on at one have troubles with HostGator?

By the above quote. Doesn't look like you can..

The other day I had 32 members of the site online at once. I was suprised I did not get an email about it. Not sure why but I am not complaining.
