I just have a question regarding hostgator… do they allow gambling content? I heard they dont…
yes they do, I’ve never had an issue.
I had an issue in the past, I think it was with iPage?
I like rackspace or logicworks personally
For hostgator, i asked about gambling..
Its ok as long as gambling is not taking place on the site, so gambling info is ok
Ahhh so its cool, I know hostgator isnt the cheapest… but they seem to have a good service and support is quite fast.
The only problem there was opening a new account, having to validate your info… they keep your account suspended until you contact them by phone or send them the information by mail (mail takes longer, of course)
I have a few servers at volumedrive.com. sometimes a few days to set up a server but always quick when i screw up .
Have a look at BurstNET® – The Speed the Internet Travels!? .
They offer Cpanel VPS and Dedicated Servers, managed and unmanaged.
Caution on unmanaged VPS or Dedicated with Burst: Make sure you secure the server properly (close open relays, proper DNS, proper email server config). I purchased a dirt cheap VPS from them once and someone attacked it because I forgot to secure email, and they shut me down immediately and offered no assistance in solving the problem.
Otherwise I’ve had a few unmanaged dedicated servers with them for years and never any issues.
EDIT: I DID NOT type that promotional anchor text, looks like the forum software did that automagically
Peer1 is solid, with great support. Look to spend about $150 a month though for a beefy machine, or now they offer “cloud” where you can adjust the amount of power you need on the fly. In a conf call with them they were trying to sell me on cloud services and I said sounds just like VM ware? then they said well it is VM ware lol. Funny how tech from 8 years ago is once again “new”
LiquidWeb is fantastic and highly recommended !!
I’ve been using a Hostgator managed VPS for several months now and love it. Its the next best thing in the hosting world to set and forget, nice if you don’t have time to be messing about with techie stuff.

It literally takes as long as the phone call for them to activate your account. Standard practice and not a large hurdle to jump over.

What is Peer1’s support like, are they responsive. I am looking for another dedicated server in the US. Also how many IP’s can you get with them?
Peer1 is instant phone support.. Even though I have a dedicated server I still got some help outside of the normal reboot or reload, its your box answer.

I have ipage with dozens of casino sites and they never had a problem with them. It is not a dedicated host.
The host also worked well with every script I tried, even while others said the script I was using was defaulty.
