Hostgator VS Hostforweb
I am currently a Hostgator Reseller. I was with them once before, left them because of their poor service....then was forced back there when I could not find anything better. Well, I am to the point of wanting to get out of there again. Their reseller prices are not that great....and the support has something to be desired. I was searching around this evening and ran across Hostforweb. I cant seem to find any real negatives about them. Are they a good deal? Any other suggestions for a large reseller account. I am looking for a 15-20GB plan.
Thanks!

What's your budget?
Are you looking for any special control panel?
How much bandwidth do you need?Last edited by anon-e-mouse; 10-07-2006 at 04:58 AM.

Hi
If you have tried hostgator before, and found poor service, then maybe you should look at the other host.Last edited by anon-e-mouse; 10-07-2006 at 04:58 AM.

I would like to stay with cpanel, just for ease of transfer. I am looking for a larger account, 15GB minimum. I dont need anything special as far as special settings, I just dont have the time to manage my own server. (I used to). I just wanted to get an idea about HFW before signing up.

Thanks for those links. I actually had already read those. Looks like a lot of discussion about their VPS, which I am not looking for.
I think I am going to give them a try. They cant be any worse than what I have now.
Thanks again! I will post my results here.

Are they polite about it?
I dont anticipate that, as I am sure I would have been given problems by hostgator had it been taking a lot of load.

Well, so far not impressed. The support has something to be desired. I have been trying all day to get some sites moved over to test things out. Support has been rather rude and not helpful at all. Like they are doing ME a favor my even answering me. Now I cant even get an answer. I think I am wasting my time....

Like most hosts they can probably only migrate sites at a certain time of the day, most likely the early hours of the morning to avoid bogging the server down. I guess you`ll have to wait.

Im not waiting. I was never told that there were only certain times. I was told to make a backup of my sites, move them over and they would take care of it. Well, that is fine for a static site, but most of my sites are dynamic and changing every second. What is the point of restoring a site that is a day old....I would just have to restore it again. The moving thing was just the last straw. There were many other things that really rubbed me wrong. If I got treated like that from the beginning, I see no reason why it would get any better with time. I was on chat for 20 minutes...the only thing the other guy would say was thanks for holding...be with you in a second.....then I would wait another 5 minutes. If you cant chat....dont answer a chat request.
Anyhow...not impressed...not going there again.
