Okay, it took me practically half the morning, but eventually I did it! TopTut.com moved to Hostgator. This server is by far faster, allows us to see Awstats on the server and has better support.
Basically this was not a rushed decision, it’s been a while that I considered moving my most popular blog to a server with better uptime and speed, but yesterday the decision pretty much make itself. After 2 weeks of negotiations with the previous host, it has been decided to block Yahoo and Google bots from my blog, which resulted in no translation to 12 languages anymore, nor crawling of new content, ever.
It seems that mere 850+ visitors and 2000+ hits daily were too much for the shared host to handle, we consumed too much CPU and the only way to fix it was to block the search bots (or, upgrade to dedicated server, for only $395 a month..). Considering that 40% (!) of my traffic does come from Search Engines and $4750 a year for one hosting account was a too high price, we packed our belongings and moved with our nose raised high.
When you can read this post, means we are already on Hostgator

Wow is that awful! You should write what host that was so we all know to stay the heck away from them! I run 3 blogs on one plan with similar traffic and don’t even make a dent! At any rate, I am glad you are here, I’m on the look for new wordpress themes!
Good decision. Hostgator is such a great host and in fact i’m also hosted there and never had a problem.
Same here so congrats! I’ve been with HG since day 1 and love it!
I agree with chelle, post it up and warn against it. No slander of course, just all the bad truths
