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 (<this one site>) 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 <this one site> - 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.

DreamHost. Search the internet for various coupons. They offer good web hosting, are quick with support, and have many options once you have webhosting such as "One Click Installs" and etc...
I use them for my white-hat sites.

*If you are going to use them, tell me, I want the refer credit :)

Convince me that this post, your first post ever on JU, is something other than spam and I may not delete it and ban your account. I may be off my rocker but I smell spam.:thumbdown:

Thanks for editing out the links, Doc, Doug, and TP. lol.

This could be a legitimate request, but I doubt it. I use a local provider for my web hosting needs.

That was most likely Doc:)
