    Hi,
    Well HG's hosting package is due to be paid in October on EC, a nice whoppin' $85 -.-
    So I'm looking for a better host that's cheaper, and within my budget of $60 a year.

    Any suggestions?

    So far I think HawkHost may be the way to go, but I'm not sure yet.

    I would search for real reviews at webhostingtalk.com of any host you're considering.

    Yeah they had some good reviews there, and I know of a lot of forums on HawkHost. I think this forum is one of them iirc.
    I signed up today, got a year's worth of hosting on the basic package and found a promo code for 50% off, so I only paid $20. Great deal.

    nice work.. we're only temporary on this host, I have my own server that AdminBB will be switched over to shortly.

    20$ for year?

    I know I am late here, but I really like Future Hosting . Well worth the money and their VPS are very affordable and work well :)

    Yup :) I was going to have to pay $40, but I found that awesome promo code :D
    That they are. So far it seems to be great, still waiting on the transfer though.
    Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't exactly need a VPS at the moment ;) Let alone afford one...

    You can always take a look at Valcatohosting.com, I've used them in the past as well. Great support, and very reliable uptime.

    Alright, just a quick update, I went with HawkHost in the end. They're awesome, and I highly recommend them :) I can't believe how fast they are...

    I have been with Surpass Hosting for quite a few years now and haven't seen much in the way of positive or negative reviews, so my official recommendation is Surpass.

    This is who I've used for a couple years, the owner is a real good friend if mine and he's done some amazing stuff to speed up forums in general.

    http://www.hostgrounds.com/

    check out how fast this forum is, it's on the same host I use and I think he's using the same package I'm using for his site.
    www.treeworld.info (this site flat out FLIES) click around, I dare you to find a page with slower load time then a second :thumbsup:
