Ok, I will ask a different question. Can I get some pros and cons for 1 & 1 hosting?

Katers - are you saying that one of the hacking incidents was an inside job?

Have you posed this question to the SMF and Joomla forums to find out whether there's a security hole in the software that might need a security patch?

I myself host numerous Wordpress and CMS Made Simple sites on Hostgator - have been since mid-2005, and never experienced any hacking (touch wood).

This might be a problem with the host. if possible Please try toc hange host and see how it works. May be you can move your less important site first and depending on the success move your original site.

Hello Katers,, first of all if you are sure that it was your host for the hacking incident then you should definitely change to a different webhost because you can’t let go your hard earned money in some issues which can easily be avoided if you have the services from a reliable source.
You may consider checking <snip self promotion> if you are planning to change your host as it’s a reasonable and reliable webhost,, check their different packages on the site, might help you.

Any reliable host would be fine to host joomala as long as the package features permit. As mad-d702 said you can install via Fantastico in a few clicks (great tool)
