Please help me in choosing web hosting


 
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 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 some_hosting - 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.

Personally, I use godaddy for a few of my websites. (This website is not mine, I'm just a mod here). It's simple to use and I've got no complaints. But i've read some user reviews before that said it doesn't offer some advance features. What I would recomend you do is find a few that you're interested in, and search for reviews specifically on that hosting site. For example, search google for HOSTING24 review, or something along those lines.

Anybody else, please feel free to add your own input as well.

Good luck!

GoDaddy is a one of the best domain name registrars and really recommend to manage your domains with it. In my experience it is a very good idea to have different companies that manage your domains and host your web-sites. It would be much easier to transfer your web-sites especially if it is the most popular registrar GoDaddy.

I've used lots of hosting providers. And many of them gave out free domains. Some of them offered unlimited bandwidth or disk space. The problem is that such hosting plans are limited anyway. Otherwise you may suffer from a slow speed of your server. I was forced to change 2 hosters with unlimited bandwidth because my web-site produced high server load. So there are no free things out there. And if you have multiple web-sites or web-sites producing high server load, I would recommend to rent a server. You may do it later on, but your search engine ranking may suffer because of the transfer from shared hosting to your own server.

I recommend to use WebHostingBuzz. It has very good reviews. And it offers a wide variety of web-hosting plans from budget to business ones. And they can also offer you VPS or Dedicated servers, so you can transfer your web-sites very fast if they grow or demand more resources.
