    My previous Host was Godaddy but I have had to many problems with them. I am thinking of going with either Hostgator or Bluehost.

    Opinions please?

    hostgator has way too many restrictions and will shut you down in a heart beat with no warning.

    Bluehost is still relatively new but the owner is a nice guy I have known him for a little while

    I personally use hostedfx. Been happy with them

    I personally would go with bluehost, i use them myself and have had no problems, everything is pretty straight forward, good luck.

    i think that bluehost server more friendly for several CMS (especially if you use the advanced plugins or addons)

    i'd go with bluehost as well! I'hv been them for years and they are perfect if wordpress is your prime source for websites development as a CMS.

    I've been with BLUEHOST for about 2 years.
    You can rely on it.

    I use hostgator with no problems at all, but I heard good reviews of bluehost.
    I decided to use hostgator because I can pay monthly and the price is reasonable

    A year ago I would have said hostgator, but I have grown to have an enormous hate for this company. A while ago I had an account with them and sent them a request to please cancel it, this was before you had to fill out a form, they did not cancel it and every month past that I was charged by them, I finally cancelled the account and told them they needed to reinburse me for all those months and they did nothing about it.

    Never used Bluehost before, so I can't tell if bluehost is good or not. But from my experience, Hostgator is quite reliable.

    There you have it... 9-7 for Hostgator... in reality you can probably say it's a tie...
