This plan is good only for low traffic websites. I think that the OP should go for VPS as he said that his traffic has increased.
Hostmonster is doing awesome job for me from last year. And Globat is another which can be good as well.
get a VPS. there are few sites that offer a trial on VPS. search for "vps trial" on google. Then you can decide if its better for you or not.
I think the problem you have is it's not hostgator that's the problem you have simply just out grown your hosting plan and you need to upgrade.
I would say namecheap is the best host,the servers are too fast even in the shared hosting and customer support is also good
I have never had any problems at all with Bluehost. I wrote a review on their service if interested: http://www.workathomescoop.com/bluehost-review/. They offer great customer service and reasonable prices.
