In short, if a hosting company seems to good to be true, it probably is.

I would be very interested to see the stats Will as you have mentioned this before. Is WO really exceeding a 100mb mysql limit - if so where and on what?
MWF has 15,223 posts 2,854 threads and 118 members, is very heavily modded and still only has a 14mb database. Compare that to 2,797 posts 1,226 threads on WO.
I verified the connection limit is 18 with 1and1 (ASO has limit of 15) this means effectively 18 people would need to press post at the same time to get a time out. Independent hosting forums have suggested that that limit would be sufficient to host a forum with 120 members online simultaneously.
To answer Madhatter - look for one that allows you to have multiple external domains (not just sub domains)
