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.

From what I've experienced, Godaddy are good... but I have a very small site with a lot less visitors than yourself

maybe try netregistry? I hear they are good

yeah saw that. Thats funny shit hahaha.

Speak to whipko aka ipko

. He can do ya a web site and hosting package deal for ya. Hes not just a raver on a forum. He is a professional business man as well. He does my stuff for me and people who know me know I dont deal with back yarders. I also put him onto Slide recently for some subcontract work which involved quite a few corporate clients. Slide doesnt use amatures either and from what I hear he is very happy with Bradens work and services.

I'll agree with Pratty and Slide - whipko (I'm so using that from now on!) is great.

His only downfall - he listens to hardstyle

haha

I don't think you guys are going to convince a bot who trying to sell YOU webhosting with your own offers :D :D
