Looking for a new host

Do you have any specific requirements/preferences? For instance, are you looking for a paid host or free hosting? I'm on Prophpbb and they offer both free and paid options for hosting, but I don't know what their rates are for paid hosting though. I've used their free plan a couple times since 2009 and these guys are awesome. In terms of free hosting, I would never consider anyplace else.

I appreciate it, but I am looking for paid hosting. And I'm personally not a fan of ProphpBB.

Fair enough. I was going to ask you again what your requirements were but thanks for the actual clarification. In that case, through the generosity of a friend one year, I was actually able to try out HawkHost, and while I've never had to use their support forum (wasn't able to as it wasn't my account, which sucked) I can say that on the whole they are really excellent, just as Theezy said. I just used them the few months/year, but the time I was with them was really awesome. Just out of curiosity, though, and I won't be offended by whatever answer you give me, but why aren't you a fan of ProphpBB? Is there someone on the support forum you don't get along with, or are you just not a fan of their services?

I would check out WHT they have some great deals, other then do some research they are millions of great hosts.

OK, what's WHT? Or are they mentioned earlier and I missed it?

WebHostingTalk.com. It is a very good place to find deals on quality hosting. 🙂

I think I've used that site before when I've been hard up for finding a good host. If I remember right, I think it mentioned ForuMotion on there. I remember thinking, "Uh, really? That place is a hacker's playground! You're kidding me, right?" Thank God it was at the waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy bottom of the list! This was some years ago when I was trying to find good forum hosts. I'm glad I landed where I'm at today!
 
I use hawkhost and I've had no issues or downtime with them. Their support is top notch if you need it as well
 
Thanks Sam for pointing that out for Ashley. It's a great place to find and learn alot about servers and hosting.

I'm just not a fan of them overall, which is why I don't use them. I could go on, but I don't wanna go off topic.

Anyways, everyone, I've possibly found a host to move to, but I'm still wanting to hear all recommendations. 🙂
 
At the moment, I am test-driving BlastPort. They have a nearly free first month at just 00.01usd. So far so good. I have already installed Wordpress on it. Going to add more content before promoting it. Check out BlastPort's offer on WebHostingTalk.
 
Thanks all for the recommendations. I'm making my decision within a day or so, so if you have any last minute vouches or recommendations, post them up. 🙂
 
Looks like I am late to the party but If you want to try my hosting HostQala.com hit me up and I will give youa forumpromotion/Fellow webmaster promo code.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but I'm looking for actual paid hosting. I don't know why you would suggest them, but anyways to each his own.
