I've used a lot of different types during my search for the
best web hosting companyover the past several years. I've tried and even currently have hosting accounts from companies like Startlogic, Godaddy, Site Ground and
Hostgator.
I've never used the hosting account you speak of, however I have had great success using Hostgator for this forum and many other websites. Then have very affordable hosting plans with a wide range of options to choose from. I purchased a reseller account so I could run all of my accounts from one main Hostgator panel.
One of my favorite things about
Hostgator so far is their uptime record. They are very could about keeping the sites online without any outages. As you know having your site live and earning money is an important factor in a good hosting program
They also have pretty fast customer support. Albeit it is sometimes difficult to get problems resolved they have been courteous and fast at responding to problems or concerns. Overall I recommend them for a basic web service, forum hosting or Joomla hosting provider.
