Mines was with a reseller, who afterwards sold his business off. Basically it was a 16 year old high school student, running a server and selling hosting. The servers ALWAYS had issues and he wasn't very good with his tech support skills. I believe the place was called something along the lines of pixelone. I can't quite remember the name now, but it has pixel "something" in it. It's been ohhh, over 4 years now since I've moved from there.

If you don't want bad experiences, ALWAYS do your research. You shouldn't rush into find the right host for your site/forum. I'd also reccomend you try their support system and take notice on their time and type of reply.
