I'm sure they must have some good servers somewhere, because their forum had many satisfied customers. But gator155 wasn't one of them.

Any server company you recommend? The only time we have an issue is during the football game. But that is the most improtant time to not have server slow down. Thanks for you help.

This was my CPU usage about half hour ago with 300 users at 2.9.
