I recently switched from a hostpc.com and signed up with hostgator.com (their $25/month reseller plan) as I was looking for great support, better uptime, and a little more features.

I have been with hostgator for a week and love them to death but have one major problem. One of my clients is a non-profit school who has about 40 email accounts (for teachers). Hostgator only allows 100 pop checks per hour and they will need more then this.

So I am looking for a host with similar features to hostgator's package, with ideally unlimited pop checks, and great support (my favorite thing about hostgator was their 24/7/365 availibility).

It took me about 2 days of research to pick hostgator so I really dont know where to go from here.

Thanks for the help!

You might want to look into resellerzoom.com.

I'm currently trying to decide between three major ones, two of them being resellerzoom and hostgator.

I haven't tried reseller zoom yet, but they seem to provide similar host specs at similar prices. You might try e-mailing them.

thanks for the advice....gave them a call and there is no limit on pop checks per hour. might have to have a serious look into them.

i'm actually thinking about a godaddy.com VPS instead (there $40/month one seems like a great deal)
