I'm sure several hosts are getting a few of the HostPc Refugees. I think there is a mass exodus taking place at HostPC.
As far as getting to HawkHost, I think price was very important, forums and reputation are important too. When searching for a host, I checked out what was being said on the forums before jumping in here. You should see what has been said over on HostPC's own forums... at least you can still see the messages from people that have not been banned and purged yet. The HostPC bunch was very active on the forums helping out each other with problems and communicating with Joe the admin at HostPC. I hope even more of them do transfer over here.... it is a good bunch of users. I would suggest it on HostPC forum, but that would probably get me banned at HostPC. (I'm still a user there... something about watching a ship go down...you just stand there and stare...still not believing it.)
