Please help me in choosing web hosting
« on: August 15, 2008, 02:50:48 PM »
Hi everyone,
I am sorry for possible offtopic, but I need your help in find new web hosting provider as soon as possible, because my current host (bluehost.com) is kicking me off, they say 'your account is using a lot server resources', but my website gets only about 200 visitors per day and my disk usage is 1500 MB (maybe they do not like that?)

Anyway, what would be your recommendations for getting reliable web hosting? Where are you hosting your websites? Are you happy with your providers?

I am now checking http://www.hosting24.com/ - offer looks very nice, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space?
I have contacted them about this question and they say something that "These days 500GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will run out of disk space we will simply add new 500GB disk drive with almost zero costs and you can continue uploading without any problems".

What do you think about it? Maybe things have changed in last 4 years? With my current provider I get only 2GB of disk space for $10 per month..
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.

Do some research on this company.  Apparently there's some fraud going on with them.

I've been more than pleased with LunarPages. But I don't get anywhere near the number of visitors per day you are talking about.

I would personally never trust a host with promises of unlimited anything.
I have found many of them just overload their servers and therefore things get slow.

Personally, I use http://invisiontech.net/ and trust them a lot. The owner will answer support sometimes within minutes, and is very prompt and knowledgeable. I use shared hosting and the server is never down and is very fast.

Just my two cents ;)
