I use www.simplix.net for my hosting and have never had any downtime. The prices are good and they do the transfer for you. If anyone has questions about them just drop me a message.

Keep in mind that EH may just stay open after all.
 
If you need a cheap and reliable host, I would recommend KVChosting. They are amazing. Great uptime, great support and great prices. Only 1.89 per month for their unlimited bandwidth and 100GB of disk space. Although you need to pay for 3 years to get this price, its only around $68 for 3 years. The company has been around for years and is very trustworthy. PM me if you have any questions.
 
It's sad to see Empire Hostings go. I know the owner and was under the impression everything was going very well for him. Empire Hostings has been around for a few years now, which means a lot in the hosting industry. As for the people now in need of hosting my advice to you is shop around. There are good providers (and bad providers...unfortunately) out there. 😉
 
Sorry to hear about EH going down. Been around for some time now.

Best of luck in your search for hosting! I won't go saying "choose us! choose us!" as this is your choice on who to use for hosting. Just let us know if you have any questions!

I do want people to recommend their hosting, only if it's good. If it's bad it will be announced as such here giving it a bad rep. When this is over I hope me and everyone's sites resume as if nothing happened.
 
I'd also recommend Simplix.
Old plans
Updated plans

Their new big plan (Suits) should be more than enough for most large sites without too much issue.
(7$ a month for 12GB of raid-10 SSD space, 500GB of bandwidth, cPanel, Cloudflare, etc...)

I've used them since December 2012 and I haven't had any issues with them. No unscheduled downtimes, (there was 1 scheduled downtime which they announced a month in advance and the downtime was less than an hour), no slowdowns or interruptions at all.

Their support is pretty good, if you have any questions they get back to you pretty quickly. So definitely worth looking into.
 
Virus_Zero, thank you for mentioning Simplix.net. We at Simplix.net would be glad to help out anyone looking for a new webhost from EmpireHosting. We offer free website transfer and incredible features at an affordable price tag.
 
Simplix sounds like the good deal I had with empire hostings, so I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip VZ.
 
I think after EH closing I will just move to a VPS server.

EH had a good run! 🙂
 
That is the first I have heard of it and I work their as support and sales. No body told me until we got flooded with support tickets about it. If I had a lot of money to keep the current Empire Hosting open I would.
 
Empire hostings Update

Here is a mass email I just sent out. This is probably the best option for both me personally and those who wish to take it.

I have brokered a deal with a good friend of mine Micheal Wells over at Goldsboro Web Development - http://goldsborowebdevelopment.com/ for all EH users who wish to take it. You will get the exact same pricing as you had with us for the lifetime of your account. Their servers are of the same grade or better than EH's servers. The great thing about this deal is that GWD does NOT rely on hosting as they are already an established business. Hosting is a secondary field for them however their support is still great. We will also handle the transfer for you. The only thing to note is that they use Webmin and not cPanel.

To take advantage of this simply visit the client area here https://empirehostings.com/shop/clientarea.php or you can go directly to their site using this link as it "should" contain the correct details for your account link won't work here for obvious reasons

We will give you more info early in the week about which day the transfer will take place.

I am going to vouch for Rat Hosting (https://www.rathosting.com) as they have been excellent with me. I haven't needed support with them so I don't know what it is like but they have great uptime and fast loading times (for me anyway and I am with Sky which says it all). It is slightly more expensive for the plan you would want as it is in GBP but is worth the money. That is my two cents anyway.
 
It's sad to see EH go, it was such a great host. 🙁

For those of you still looking for good, quality hosting however, UZR Hosting has an offer for clients transferring from EH - we will beat Empire Hostings prices by 10% (with no extra costs for paying monthly), and you'll keep this price for the lifetime of your account. As usual, we will also offer a free transfer for you as well, along with a free domain name transfer to us. To take advantage of the offer, simply start a Live Help chat with one of our operators or start a new ticket and we will be happy to help you further.

It was very recently announced that the hosting I'm using is shutting down pretty soon. So I need another hosting that can match this range:

I currently pay $4 a month for 15GB storage, 300GB bandwidth, cloud flare and full Cpanel pro.

Anyone know a good hosting for a IPB forum and wordpress site and does the transfer process for me? My broadband internet can't handle the process of moving 5,436.12 MB of data very well.

Is this the same host you recommended for me when we all discussed TC going paid?

Anyway, I am sorry to hear about this, and hope that you can find a better host..
 
I can provide a unlimited reseller plan cheap to EH. But that's only if you'd be interested.
 
After reading this thread in its entirety, I was pretty disgusted. The topic of the thread should have been that EH is closing and not *post your host here*.

People who are saying bad things about EH clearly have no idea about its history. EH was definitely one of the most reliable and longest-running hosts to be advertised on FP. It was one of the only hosts who had easy to contact staff and rarely had any complaints. Shadow has worked with the FP community while running this host. The loss of this host is something Forum Promotion is going to miss. 🙁 Running on a well-taken care of dedicated server, EH was one of the best hosts we've had here.

The 1 week and a half notice is ample in my opinion. Knowing what Shadow has been through, it was very nice of him to provide that time frame. Many more profitable and larger hosts have gone down without notice. And others have gone done with just a link for owners to download their files. The closure of EH is sad for everyone on FP, but was handled professionally by the owner.
