HostGator will put you in the same situation unless you go their higher end services... and if I remember correctly they are also owned by EIG.It's really up to Sean, so I'll point him to this thread as soon as he's on again. We actually discussed switching hosts a few months ago and were going to switch to Host Gator, but Sean never got around to it.

In the meantime, I'm going to submit a ticket.

The thing about EIG is they do not advertise themselves as EIG. They're sneaky like that.
Unlike most companies when they take over another company, they brag about it and tell the world. For example, when IBM bought Softlayer, they told everyone and even their logo says, "Softlayer An IBM Company".
EIG does not do that. EIG keeps quiet and virtually tells no one. That way when you're tried of dealing with X brand, you switch to Y brand, but all you really did was stick to the same host company, EIG.
Avoid anyone in this list

And they're back now (else you would not be having this issues you are today). Trust me, you'll be happier avoiding EIG.We were having some issues a while back (around the end of last year), which is what made us consider switching hosts, but the issues resolved themselves shortly afterward.

So yeah, Unplugged is also on Bluehost, so my best guess is that all that spam is also contributing to the major issues on there.
Anyway, Sean is in the process right now of getting us transferred to HostGator since he already has an account with them. Ironically, the server is behaving today. Maybe it's because it doesn't want us to leave.
Your best bet in a server, at least one that's built around XenForo hosting, is xFhost. xFhost was actually bought buy IQnection not that long ago. You can read the details here.
It might be a bit pricey but it's well worth it. I actually plan on upgrading to the xenXtreme package whenever I decide to actually get some attention for my site. With 2,000 GB bandwidth a month, an 80 GB hard drive, and up to 500 guests allowed at any given time ... it's worth it. For KH-Flare though, I believe the xenBasic would suffice. 10 GB HD, 200 GB monthly bandwidth, and up to 100 guests allowed at any given time. I'd recommend xFhost to anyone who's serious about their XenForo forum.
At any rate, HostGator should suffice for now but it is highly recommended that thought is given to transferring to a higher grade host in the future.
Just finished setting up a VPS for another guy. Once we had his DB installed and the forum structure over updated his DNS and about 2 minutes later we were hitting it.The migration is complete, though it will take about another 24 hours for us to officially be hosted on the new host since the name servers need to update.
Nights said:Apologies you guys. I am so sorry. I made a mistake in editing the config.php file which denied access to the database. It's fixed now, promise, as well as being upgraded to 1.3.3. It is fixed for sure this time. Everything is running fine and fast. No more download popups.
