I am in need of urgent help regarding hosting!

    Hi,
    I've just been alerted by my hosting company - Hostgator, that my web site A Traders Universe is in violation of their terms of service because it references FOREX. I have been told to remove it or have my account closed.

    This is pretty scary for me so I need help in finding a host that will not have this restriction, and also one that will have an easy process of transferring all files etc over. I also have an addon domain in the account.

    My other concern is cost. Hostgator was charging me $9.95 a month, and I liked them basically because of what they offer is what I need, no more no less. I'd really like to avoid having to pay much more than that

    Any help really appreciated
    Dean

    Hostgator has really strange Terms of Service:

    I don't really understand what's illegitimate about forex and bank debentures?

    Most hosts do allow Forex related sites....at least informational sites like yours should not be a problem.

    Find a dedicated hosting provider, they are usually much more liberal.

    If you have $$$$ to burn, rackspace, otherwise, softlayer. Both are great solutions.

    hi sachin410,

    Thanks for the link. I checked out their TOS
    Are you aware that they do not allow audio, video or any sort of software downloading on their shared accounts?
