Please help me in choosing web hosting

0xyGen · 08-29-2008, 03:50 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 Hosting24.com - First Class Web Hosting Services - 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.

I am with A Small Orange and they are very good, their service is great, but they are a bit pricey

I can recommend Hostgator.com. Great price and great support.

There is no such thing as "unlimited" and normally they have usage restrictions in their T.O.S/A.U.P so check theres out.

I recommend Host7000 - they're really amazing.

They don't oversell, and their prices are very reasonable.

I use Dreamhost and haven't had any issues. When I did need tech support my ticket was answered (10 min.) and problem resolved in 30 min.

Of course, if you go with any overselling host [that'll give you a huge amount / "unlimited" allowance per month], you WILL hit some limit at some point. Many providers come up with silly limits so that they can cram as many customers onto one server as they can....

I don't have an idea of the names of the web hosting sites. But before finalizing you must be sure that they have dynamic features. Most of the free web hosting sites don't have these features.

200 visitors a day is not really a draw on server resources even on budget hosting plans

Any of the big names like godaddy [if you are not addicted to cpanel], hostgator, kiosk or Globat should be fine
