Hi there, I am a designer and regularly buy hosting for my clients. I was using LunarPages till date. There commission was good. But there annual package is around $100. I am looking for some hosting under $100 with good affiliate program and low payout... But most importantly the hosting should be reliable, as the clients call me if there site is down ... i prefer some Indian host... Let me know if you have suggestion!
I too have been using host gator and have had no issues. There customer support is amazing, I can reach them through live chat any hour of the day and resolve any issue (on the rare occasion there is one). If you do end up going with host gator, go through the affiliate link in my signature, I'll love you forever hehe. In all seriousness though, they're great hosting and have never done me wrong.
