I am currently hosting a site on dot5hosting. Last night they had some problems and email has been down for 24 hours!!!!! how can a business run like that? It cant!

My needs are simple.

flash / php and some database.
200+ emails with at least 2-5 gigs per box
WITHOUT EMAIL GOING DOWN!

We get maybe 1000 unique hits per month but lots of email tranfers
the email boxes need to be large because its an advertising company and need to send wav files etc.

Would host gator be able to host us without slow down and without email going down.

I am looking at the business plan for 15/month

Would the transition with the domains etc be painless? dot5 actually didnt ell me i had to log into a hidden portal to change dns information when i transferred to them.

thanks
