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 (ixwebhosting.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 don't know much about web hosting, but harddrives have gotten a LOT cheaper the last few years, so disk space should not be all that expensive.

I host my own sites these days, but offer nowhere near the size of stuff you're looking at, or that some of the cloud type hosting places do at this point. I'm still amazed when I see things like 500gb of space and 5000gb of BW or something for only $5 or $10 a month.....it just sounds so radical. There really is no such thing as *unlimited* space or bandwidth (traffic).....technically it'd be impossible, but even in a practical sense, if you look at the terms of service for places like that they usually have some provisions where they can arbitrarily kick you off for *excessive* use of resources (and the definition of excessive is up to them). With so many of the larger hosts offering tons of space and BW these days, though, you should be able to find a decent host that still provides plenty of features at a reasonable cost....that hopefully would be in your price range. I'd really have to look a few up at this point, because I mainly focus on the more practical side of hosting.

If you want to contact me privately (PM), I can maybe try to help you off the forum here...at least in finding someone decent.

I'm glad to see you're not jumping for the "unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage" hosting ads. They're a scam. As mentioned above there is no such thing as unlimited. (ex. unlimited long distance on a phone plan typically means around 10,000 minutes if you read the fine print)

If you see a host (like dreamhost) that asks you to pay an extra monthly fee for a unique ip address .. run. Why would any respectable host not include that in the fee? Although I do hear a lot of good things about dreamhost I also here their performance can be quite sluggish.

Most small-medium business hosts out there should be able to accommodate you.


Is that your full monthly fee? If so that's CHEAP. Consider upgrading your account with your current host. If they're a good host they'll deal.

Otherwise, stop wasting your time with BULK hosting companies that make outrageous claims of services they offer, stop looking for the cheapest hosts out there. You'll want a hosts whose business starter packages are in the $15/month neighborhood to find someone whose willing to provide the resources your site may be using.
