    Default 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 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...- 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 xx 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 ..
    Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.

    You can get a plan here and you have 30 days to decide if you are satisfied.

    No host can truly offer "unlimited" resources. Resources cost money, as you have discovered. Choose a host that offers realistic limits for a price you are happy with. You will find that WebHostingBuzz is quite competitive.

    As for using too much server resources, that is not only about number of visitors. If you have an insecure or poorly-written script, then it can hog server resources. If that happens here, you will be suspended just like at your current host. If you do not use any scripts, then it may be that your current host is concerned that you are using 1.5GB of disk space. That seems like an awful lot. Here your disk space must be used for web site related files, and not as a file storage. This host also does not allow streaming video or other streamed media.

    I suggest you look at the plans here and choose one to suit you.

    If those 200 visitors a day are on at the same time up/downloading data, or running scripts, then you have probably outgrown shared hosting. You didn't talk about that so I have no idea if that's the case.

    Yes, some hosts offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth, but you're still limited by their TOS (Terms of Service). So it's not really "unlimited".

    Yes, our space is not "unlimited", a certain amount of disk space and bandwidth are given on each package but we give plenty of them. The lowest budget plan has 400GB disk space and 5000 bandwidth. Other budget packages have even more.
    In case your account "outgrows" a shared server and its resources are not enough for you, you can upgrade to a higher package anytime you wish. We take care of the upgrade procedure and transfer your accounts to the other server by ourselves.
