Avoid netfirms if you want to host forums. They have a $10 for the year deal that's great but the forums have cost me dearly with all their problems. I haven't had them up a full week since going live with them. I have spent more time with tech in the last four weeks then in publishing. If you have a plan site it is worth the deal if not stay away.
Thanks for the warning Aquariancore. As a member of two of your forums, I know you are telling the truth about how bad the hosting has been. I can't wait until you get it fixed!
My new host is my old host GoDaddy. I have few problems with them. Occassionaly they do a bonehead thing or two but overall I have had a great experience with them.
