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.

You should read my thread here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275762. You'll be running into even more problems, since these sort of providers massively oversell what they offer.

With your low usage, I'd stick with a shared host that doesn't offer the world to you for 10$/mo. You should check out exactly what is causing the problem, perhaps you are running some mod/hack which is outdated or badly configured.

Try uploading 500 GB to see what happens!! Your account will get suspended far before you can reach that limit.

Your current provider (with 2GB/$10) is much more realistic & truthful than 500GB provider. Good luck.
