HostGator - First 6 months
I'd like to share my experiences so far. As I always say "every hosting company is somehow good until you need a tech support". I had terrible experiences with Micfo and Site5 just because of this tech support issue.
HostGator answers my tickets in max 15 minutes and they always come with a solution in next 2-3 hours. My sites uptime is great and whenever I have questions I can find somebody to help me.

Its nice that HostGator is providing sucha good support. But i had problems with Hostgator, The IP's they provided were banned by a huge number of ISP in Asia.
So i had to shift on a dedicated server.Xaphost - We Host the World For You

Nitin Gupta, having moved to the dedicated server I think you've lost nothing!

I could have moved to a dedicated IP, but instead chose a Dedicated Server, which proved lucky for me and my Hosting business.

The only way to make 100% sure that your IP is not banned by certain ISP's is to go for a dedicated server, so Nitin Gupta did the right thing by moving to a dedicated server. If you just move for a dedicated IP, you will still be using shared mail server so you will still get your mail returned from time to time.

I actually just e-mailed hostgator to test out their support. Replied within 15 mins...pretty impressive. But then again its is working hours for them. I'm asking them how long would it take to get Perl modules installed. Im a bit of a freak when it comes to this. I need my site up and running be4 tomorrow night and desperately need a server that can install modules and have it working properly withing 24hrs.
Serdar, have you requested HostGator to install any thing for you as of yet?
Thanks,
