I have had great experience with Hostgator, they are big and cheapest of them. The hack? Oh yeah that phpbb is a pistol! I was hacked on that several times before I gave it up. I dont know why it is such a big target but everytime I used it, it got hacked.
I had a problem only two times with Hostgator. Once because I had a conspiracy site and some idiot complained. They told me to get that site off the account and the account would not be suspended. I had been with them about 8 years at that time so they were kind to me. I moved it to free hosting for freedom of speech sites.
Also left Hostgator when they would not give out the free SSL, about 2 years ago, and went to Dreamhost because Hostgator only offered paid options. After a year and a half they realized they have to offer the free ssl so I returned. Dreamhost is okay if you know UNIX or its' derivatives. The sites respond slower and they bug you constantly to upgrade to your own server, but they are okay.
I would talk to Hostgator and work it out (I had a site that was used for "escorts" and they did not seem to bother but maybe never noted it. They really have the best for your buck. and Find something else instead of phpbb! It seems it is a hacker magnet for some reason.

[QUOTE="onlinetv, post: 2294011, member: 94869"] I have had great experience with Hostgator, they are big and cheapest of them. The hack? Oh yeah that phpbb is a pistol! I was hacked on that several times before I gave it up. I dont know why it is such a big target but everytime I used it, it got hacked. I had a problem only two times with Hostgator. Once because I had a conspiracy site and some idiot complained. They told me to get that site off the account and the account would not be suspended. I had been with them about 8 years at that time so they were kind to me. I moved it to free hosting for freedom of speech sites. Also left Hostgator when they would not give out the free SSL, about 2 years ago, and went to Dreamhost because Hostgator only offered paid options. After a year and a half they realized they have to offer the free ssl so I returned. Dreamhost is okay if you know UNIX or its' derivatives. The sites respond slower and they bug you constantly to upgrade to your own server, but they are okay. I would talk to Hostgator and work it out (I had a site that was used for "escorts" and they did not seem to bother but maybe never noted it.
