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.
 
They probably say that because the scripts you run are very CPU-intensive, most forum sotware generate quite a load. When a single server (shared hosting) runs many such forums belonging to different account holders, things slow down significantly. Happened to me in the past.

Don't get fooled by "unlimited space", "unlimited bandwidth" sort of advertisement. In real life, nothing is unlimited. That is the biggest tell of a crappy provider. You always get what you pay for. I'd recommend my 3rd hosting provider; Hostgator. A true American company based in Houston, TX with very modest prices, cool features and better than average service. Too bad their shared hosting plans also come with many "unlimited" features most of us don't need. :( Anyway, they currently have a 20% off winter thing. If you're planning to do e-commerce of any kind, go for a dedicated server. The speed, reliability, space, priority service and the peace of mind is well worth the extra bucks.
