Moved host.

[vividWire]

Hostgator is one of the most reputable hosts around and located with ThePlanet which is probably the most reputable datacenter around.

Two points;

1) ThePlanet operate more than one data center

2) Reputation doesn't necessarily mean that TP is best data center firm around. From experience, their connectivity is dire, their support is horrendous, their prices are awful and their facilities, although promoted well, have fallen below standard as far as power redundancy goes in the past with numerous generator outages and power faults.

I've explored the possibility of using them multiple times in the past, and I've found far better service elsewhere - right now, we use GigeNET and Ubiquity in Chicago, with both averaging support response times in under 15 minutes and having far more capable networks than what I've seen from the planet. In particular, GigeNET have offered me excellent pricing and performance (which I have been able to pass down the line to clients) - eight bandwidth carriers and two peering locations is pretty amazing.

I'm not saying that The Planet are dreadful, but at the same time, I'm saying they're far from perfect.
