Please help me in choosing web hosting

[0xyGen]

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.

I'm not very savvy about web hosting, but last year my ds had to create a website (not just a page, but a multipage site) and place it on the web for a webdesign class.

 

We used godaddy.com and were well pleased with the service.

 

Good luck with your choice.

I do the website for our high school band and use godaddy.com

I use http://www.northshorewebhost.com/ and they are super helpful. I get a lot of space for cheap, too.

 

I'd be a little iffy on anybody that claims to give unlimited space.

Try: http://webhostingtalk.com/

A good forum for finding good webhosts.

I use: http://www.realwebhost.net/

 

In addition to the amount of space that a site takes up, there are other 'resources' that websites consume. Bandwidth is one. Also, server processing is a resource that can be consumed by certain apps/scripts.

Hope some of this helps.

I go with holdfire.net The owner is super helpful & sweet. She helped me through a lot of poo with my previous host. I do know though DO NOT go with godaddy.com for hosting. Their domain names servers are ok, but not their hosting services.

I also use Yahoo and use the Site Builder tools.

I've used godaddy.com for over an year now and no problems with anything and they are literally there 24/7 to walk me through anything.

 

Just like anything else though, everyone has their own experiences. Glad that you found a hosting you like.

I use netfirms. I am a webmaster for a non profit. www.Netfirms.com you pay for 1 year for a domain name and then the website is free for the year. I have also used www.hostgator.com ,

I thought they were pretty good too. But those are both paid accounts. If you want a free site I am not sure what is better. I hope you find something that fits for you.
