Suggestions for Magento hosting?

I purchased a running Magento ecommerce website, and was going to transfer the hosting to my Hostgator account. Because I'm not so familiar of those transfer things, asked Hostgator to do that transfer. Their support is so slow, have been waiting and waiting a quote from them, have even called them, but it seems their support is slow as a snail.

If the quote is so difficult to give, started to wonder how long it takes they will do the actual work?

So, any recommendations of a good hosting company with excellent customer service and support?

    I would look into a managed VPS plan or at least a semi-dedicated plan to host your Magento site.

      Magento uses alot of resources and a Shared hosting will not be a good solution, maybe the guys at Hostgator ignore your queries on purpose. Instead either choose Dedicated or VPS for Magento.

    Hostgator is not where I would host a Magento site. You need good quality hosting. Start with Veerotech. They are active on here and offer above average customer service and quality hardware. Otherwise, look at something like liquidweb storm on demand. You never told us who it is hosted with right now...

    Actually you need a new host that offers FREE migration service. OR look for a better host as already suggested here, then hire someone to do the migration for you.
