Lady: I too can vouch for Gator and their customer service is awesome.
I went with them because I needed mySQL . They walked me thru it and didn’t treat me like the newbie I was. Something to think about as I noticed you mentioned Go Daddy for your domains. As I was hosting elsewhere and only my domains were at GD, they only allow 1 email address/domain unless you pay what I consider a high fee. U might want to think about switching your domains over to Gator as they allow unlimited email addresses and they also offer a free mailing list. I believe it’s 9.95/domain.
I left them not because of their service, but decided to go with Site Build It for my 3rd site as they offer so many benefits. I have learned so much about how to build a site the right way even though I’ve been on the internet for 10 years.
Hope this helps…
