    BlueHost and HostMonster are owned by the same company. ;) If I have to choose between the given hosts, I'd suggest DreamHost. If you want, I can give you a referral link/promo code [DreamHost] so you could avail of discounts. :D

    Hey i just seen one review of hostgator - That guy told that hostgator deleted his all files without any confirmation from him also when he logged in to his account they said - You are using too much resources :eek:
    I am scared that do they delete any account like this if our site becomes popular ?:eek:

    Please help me coz i am also in a same trouble as OP is in.

    I agree with you with this one. The staff is a little bit arrogant when replying an answer. Glad I'm find the answer here in DP. :D

    I've heard a lot about hostgator, but your best bet would be to see some reviews as there are many of them around.
