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.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 - 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.

Try dreamhost.com

Write and ask the question before sign up - they'll be straight with you.

"I get only 2GB of disk space for $10 per month.. "

are you sure thats Bluehost? because i use them too and they just have 1 plan option and its not 2 GB for $10 monthly.

I have a dedicated server with GoDaddy. Been reliable for over 4 years now.

Their customer service is, in a word, horrible. About the only thing their customer service team is good for is to offer to sell you more things.

But, when I started with a virtual server, and outpaced the server's assigned capacities to me, the transition to the dedicated box was seamless.

Costs me about $80/month, but I have TOTAL control over all aspects of my server and websites (I host about 6 of my own right now.) and I have the ability to easily add new features to sites like forums, galleries, etc. by simply installing the supplied software already bundled with my server package.

One gig of ram keeps things nice and fast, the bandwidth has never been an issue and there's loads of disk space (can't recall the exact numbers, but my Jeep site sees around 100,000 visits a month and is made up of around 800 pages of unique content & images - everything zips along fine).

I have a dedicated server at rochen. customer service is beyond excellent. I pay more than most, but I have a top end server and its worth it for the bandwidth and being able to get customer service and tech within minutes.

no problems, ever

mj - if you recommend them, I say drop the link to them for folks here. I think useful links like that should be used.

(Prowler, hope you're cool with that. )

I am most pleased to announce my recommendation for hosting
http://www.rochenhost.com/

they actually answer their email, reply to forum postings,and have a customer service interface that they respond to professionally and in a reasonable amount of time, every issue has been resolved!

I give this company 5 out of 5 smilies


as I celebrate my 700th posting, I think I have proved myself to be a responsible poster

Absolutely SportsGuy.

Selecting the right host is a crucial decision. If you run a mission critical website or run a unique software application you would be well advised to opt for a dedicated server. Many shared hosting resources can fluctuate wildly depending upon the workload of other sites in the same box.

A responsive well knowledgeable support system can go a long way in deciding the right host.
