    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.

    All those webhosting that claims to give unlimited bandwidth of space is just a gimmick. They either will impose a limit at a later time or they'll suspend your website when you're using a bit more resource.

    In my experience, cheap webhostings are never good. You get so much unnecessary downtime. If your website doesn't get a lot of traffic but it's taking up resource, you should look at the script and plugin that you're running.

    Currently my server is upgraded to 8GB of ram and it has never crashed since. Check out my server's uptime for June. I nearly achive 100% uptime.

    Usually a webhosting company is a team of people that rents a few servers from datacenters and then rents out small amount of space to people who wants to host a website. They do not usually have a server physically at their office.

    I got mine directly from Softlayer datacenter.
