I'm fairly new here, but have been through three hosts in a year. First used 1and1.com, the absolute worst hosting company I've ever seen....our site was down constantly,45-60 minute phone waits for help....so we switched to HostGator, which worked great for about two months, then we started having database issues there. The people were rude, not very helpful, and our server problems got worse and worse. After checking with others who were using HostGator, it seems they have a real bad reputation dealing with sites that grow rapidly, as in they don't want to deal with them. They kept pushing us to upgrade to a Dedicated Server, even though at the time we were only using 10-20% of our resources.
We switched to InMotion hosting about 4 months ago, and I have to say they are the best I've ever seen. Using a V-Dedicated server, our site has been down once in four months, for 15 minutes while they did some maintenance. I highly recommend InMotion, but would never recommend HostGator or 1and1.com....just my .02
