Starting to do some home work for moving my new forum from shared server space. Current space doing good for now, but anticipating that will not continue with growth of the board.

What I am looking is feedback on what host you are using, plan and cost. Level of your ability (like myself, I know just about enough to be dangerous when it comes to server management stuff), Customer service experience, length of time with that company.

Preference of Unix, Windows, etc. the good and bad of each.

If you have your own company, it might be better if you PM me so no one can say you are using this forum to build your business. I don't want to start any peeing matches just starting to do some research and making plans.

How difficult is it to manage

Thanks
Val
