Both of them have plenty of reviews. Do some search in google. Also use webhostingtalk.com (the biggest guide for web hosting)

It is really hard to choose on picking the right hosting services! I think that it is better to do some research and then think what is the best hosting services that suits to your site!

I only have experience with HG. I see you have a forum with some 5 users online. There should be no problem hosting it in their shared hosting environment. Frankly, I doubt there would be many hosts that would have trouble with it.

You should probably get a domain name for your site, so that in the future you don't lose so much of the (link) popularity you've already gained.

I get my dedicated servers from Host Gator. I've had issues with their support in the past, but generally I would recommend them. I have a few clients that use Bluehost and they don't complain about them either... I think they're pretty comparable services.

What is your web site and how much sources that is currently using?

Hostgator wins everytime for me. Just what you are used too i guess.

I believe that is difficult to chose. Both have thousands of thge happy customers.

well both of them have got mixed reviews as I knew. The best thing you can do is to check iwth your technical requirements witht the hosting service providrer along with their customer service.

i went with host gator based on the reviews that i found online if i bump into those links again ill be sure to help u out and post them for you

I used Blue host for about 2 days and then they shut my site down because I had to many emails sent, because all my people use web mail. total BS!

I change over to www.simplehelix.com/ www.hostrocket.com/ and both are workinh well.

total BS!

Not necessarily. How many emails are they sending? Hosts often limit this to 2-5 hundred per hour, in a shared hosting environment. It is necessary, in order to limit the chances of IP blacklisting, and temporary server overload.

Dan is right more over better discuss with web host the number of emails you are looking to send out. That will awoid further troubles

If that's the type of hosting your looking for. I don't think it matters all that much, that match up is too close to call

i used both bluehost and hostgator.
what i observed is sites hosted with bluehost are fast loading compared to hostgator. dont forget that bluehost puts a cap of 40% cpu usage.
i would go for bluehost

I say Hostgator.....I have had numerous sites with them and never a problem, plus good customer support. Also, they have good deals on packages

I don't know what number is too many, but if I were running a shared host, I'd have the same basic rule, too.

I don't know if that's the full story - hosts simply limit the amount of emails you can send - rather than suspending the client. Looks like they identified the guy as a spammer instead.

Hostgator any day.
