Please help me in choosing web hosting - 26-06-2008, 12:21 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 various offers and they look 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.

200 visitors and 1500Mb per day? Are you sure?

And this message: 'your account is using a lot server resources' is very suspicious. Are you sure bluehost was the originator?

1500mb does sound like a lot of space - what are you hosting?

As for unlimited - no it does not exist, even the latest "cloud" computing methods have limits in terms of physical diskspace and processing power - simply plugging another hard drive into an array is not unlimited anything - it's just increasing the limit

If you think about it this way - if you really could get unlimited hosting resources for $10 a month then Google, YouTube, MySpace and a host of other big names would be saving themselves mega money by hosting their services with these companies!

Oh and call me sceptical - but I am waiting for another new member to sign-up to recommend a host to us any minute

Hi,
Have you got any of your website images added to forums?
Each time they are retrieved on through the forum it would use your bandwidth.
You are not getting so many visits a day. It is the only thing i can think of.
