    I hate it but I've never bought hosting before and every time I think I've decided on a host I end up reading something bad about it.

    What plan are you on?

    Do you guys use much PHP? SQL databases? In the cpanel demo, the statistics showed a flashing red dot next to "server load." Haha oh no...

    I've been with hostgator for a long time and other than finding them being slow on some small intervals of time, I haven't found them to be slow and their support is among the fastest I have experienced compared with several hosts . :)

    Been with hostgator for almost 2 years and they never ever let me down. Their support is great and imo they are one of the best hosting companies out there! I will go dedicated with them soon.
