HostGator are good for arcade and gaming sites as they don't lash out at you for little things like many sometimes do. Uptime for me has been amazing i can say 100% as i haven't seen it go down for me at all.

I Spoke with the owner a few times Brent is really a awesome guy he'll deal with things amazingly.

Banner Exchanges are not allowed on HostGators servers weather it be shared, VPS, Reseller or Dedicated they don't accept them due to previous history issues. So consider a other cheap but powerful alterative to them instead of hostgator.

I use my friends server as i can trust him with alot of things even though he gets wasted and basicly a pimp almost hahaha! lol...

Beware DMCA, Support can only offer so much help however other than that I thought the servers were very reliable. However understand that they are a reseller and the servers belong to the planet so in complicated issues they will only be able to offer limited assistance. Good luck with finding a good place to host your site and sorry to hear of loss of data because that is really a pain.

Worst host I ever seen. This type of host is good as long as u get under 3-4k/day traffic....when u crossed it..u will be suspended. Be practical...no host in earth can give that kind of bandwith and space in 9$.

KingCupid, what do you suggest for site that will spend 100GB of bandwith monthly?
