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 (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 Hosting24.com - First Class Web Hosting Services - 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.

Go to www.nearlyfreespeech.net.


There are lots of places that claim unlimited bandwidth or space. Its all a lie. Even places that offer you 5-10 gigs of space, or 200 gigs of transfer a month, or anything like that. They're lying about it, plain and simple. Their goal is to get people to sign up for their service and not use nearly the space they're "allowed." They over sell their space and bandwidth by quite a bit, and if you start using too much of it they'll yank your hosting.

Go to nearlyfreespeech.net. They price realistically, they only charge you for what you use. Unfortunately, if you really do have 1500 megs of stuff it will cost you more. Their rates are awesome: $0.01 per month per megabyte of storage, and $0.01 per month per 10 megs of transfer. For almost anyone that is a great deal, I suppose unless you're hosting a bunch of videos or something.
