Who hosts your forum? For my site: http://corporatepride.com Hosts us. They are an awesome host with absolutely no downtime, and I highly recommend them
We use HostGator, there pretty good however the site does have random 1-5 second outages for unknown reasons. I'm content with the plan I have now so I have no thoughts of switching at this time.

[quote name='RJH' timestamp='1314884471' post='88703'] So you have your own servers etc or not? [/quote] Well, what I was trying to say is I host my own sites. However, I do have a webhost that has our servers. So technically, they host it, however, I consider me hosting them.
When a lot of people refer to hosting their own sites, they use mean they own a reseller. Reseller's are great if you want to host many sites (that you own) since you can manage them more easily and get a little more control than you do with shared hosting.
True self-hosting would mean they own the server. The reseller is given by the host, so it's the same in the sense.
We use hosting24.com and not had a problem with them at all, we have tried loads of others, but these so far seem the best

I been with netfirms.com for a few years now, and they are the best company ever! Highly recommend them
I'm now using HostDime as they gave me a great offer on a dedicated server to host any of my sites, plus Pluto Hosting
I have my reseller through hostgator and have to say I love them.I can't remember the last time the sites didn't load.They are alittle on the expensive side in my eyes but sometimes you get what you pay for.
I use Hawkhost for hosting all of my websites, I have been with them now for nearly a year and I can't really knock their service. Very minimum downtime, the one we were using prior to that was absolutely atrocious.
I haven't used the Cloud Hosting from Eleven2 but a few months ago I signed upto one of their reseller packages as a trial of their services and found that it was a lot slower when I ran speed tests than a lot of other hosts. But I can not fault their support, their support has to be one of the best I have seen. I currently host a variety of forums and websites, so I'm my host
